The end of June marks an annual observance for most of New York State, and that is high school graduation.
With the summertime season upon us, graduation parties are expected to continue on through June, July and some even into August.
Our local law enforcement agencies wish the very best of luck to the graduating class of 2022, while also giving a firm warning to make smart, safe and positive decisions not just for when it comes to celebrating their education accomplishments, but all throughout life as well.
