Grand March for grad

Graduate Hannah Grieve and her escort Preston Hoffart had an extended standing ovation at the Grand March on Thursday evening during grad ceremonies, as she had dedicated her appearance there to the memory of Kailynn Bursic-Panchuk. Kailynn had wanted to graduate with her friends, including Hannah, but was tragically killed in a collision with a train last August. Kailynn's mother set up a new scholarship in her daughter's memory, and Hannah was one of the recipients of that scholarship, along with Jillian Labatte earlier this month.
