Amherstburg resident expresses gratitude after return of wallet

Thank you Amherstburg Car Quest and the people who helped me through the ordeal of a misplaced wallet.

As I was leaving the store, still in shock over the missing wallet, the customer behind me and Car

Quest paid for my order and ran out into the street to give it to me.

Thank you to the neighbour who found my wallet on the road and immediately called me to report the finding.

Amherstburg is a good place to live!

Grandmother of graduate enjoys the proceedings

The 2023 graduation of the first class to graduate from North Star High School was well done on June 28. The backdrop was attractive. The two presenters announcing each graduate, stating awards received and ambitions, did a fine job, even providing a chuckle at one point.

The band added nicely to the ceremony, and the valedictorian, Paige Hawkins, made a speech that included thoughts and phrases that the graduates will do well to take with them and implement hroughout their lives.

The graduates, of course, looked splendid in their caps with the silver tassels, and their gowns. I was impressed with the many awards given, and even more scholarships presented, which ranged from $250 to $42,000. Fantastic!

The only blip was for the hundreds seated on the chairs placed on the arena floor. There were many comments expressed after the ceremony, bemoaning how uncomfortable the chairs were. I have three more North Star graduations I will proudly attend, in the coming years. My fervent hope is that there will be more comfortable seating.

All in all, a loud “well done” to the staff of NSHS. To all the graduates. may you experience success in your various endeavors, and be content with yourselves, and your lives. To the fine audience, who enthusiastically applauded each graduate as they progressed across the stage - another “well done.” And, congrats to my wonderful grandson, Nico!
