On June 21, Portage Lac Echo hosted a heartfelt graduation ceremony for 6 residents from Portage's anglophone and francophone adolescent programs. These graduating classes are part of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Rivière-du-Nord school boards, respectively. The ceremony took place on the beautiful grounds of Portage's Lac Echo property, serving as a joyous celebration of the graduates and students for their remarkable achievements throughout the school year.
The Graduation Ceremony holds a special significance for many, symbolizing the culmination of their hard work and serving as a glimpse into their future. This pivotal moment in the lives of our youth represents yet another stride towards adulthood and a promising future.
The graduates, adorned in the timeless graduation gown and iconic square cap, were bestowed with honours for successfully completing their high school education. The ceremony featured two valedictorians who delivered poignant speeches, following the presentation of diplomas and graduation gifts. Among the attendees were fellow residents from both the anglophone and francophone youth programs, along with dedicated staff and proud parents of the graduates.
The teachers will also be highlighting the perseverance of students who have excelled in various subjects but who have not yet finished high school. Their hard work, curiosity and willingness to push their limits have been an inspiration to us all. This is an opportunity to pay tribute to them by recognizing their achievements and encouraging them to continue their journey towards a sober and positive life.
Special thanks are extended to the dedicated teachers and staff of Portage who have worked tirelessly with the adolescents. We would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the students, their parents, and families for their invaluable contribution and unwavering support throughout the journey. Their presence and encouragement were instrumental in making this graduation ceremony a resounding success. Congratulations to each and every one of you on this remarkable achievement!
