Got Grads? Post a Graduation Announcement on Apple Valley Patch

It's the time of year for milestones.

Students across the country are donning mortarboards and walking across stages, earning their degrees and accepting diplomas, finishing one chapter of their lives and moving on to the next.

So, let the community know about your graduate's accomplishments by posting a free graduation announcement on .

All you need to do is fill out this form with a few details, whether you want to dote on your high schooler, acknowledge the bachelor's or master's degree of a local student who went on to college, or let us know your kindergartener will be moving on up in the world.

Add photos (a now-and-then comparison with a baby photo is always fun!) and videos, and write as much as you'd like—sticking with the basics is fine, but feel free to go all out with a complete biography :)

I've attached a video tutorial as a visual set of instructions.

My brother just finished the last exam of his college undergraduate career, and will be graduating on Sunday. Even though we're not from Apple Valley, I might just post something about it anyway—proud big sister alert!
