Baccalaureate will be held Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center at the high school. If you have a graduating senior, will he or she go?
Baccalaureate is a religious service sponsored by the Brandon Valley Ministerial Association. Students will participate in the service by reading scripture and providing music. Several of the student speakers are the same ones who will speak at commencement on Sunday.
When I graduated from Brandon Valley High School in 1975, I never considered skipping baccalaureate. I don’t remember anyone ever telling my class that it was optional, but I suppose it was, even back then. I do remember a couple of choir kids not singing certain songs at the Christmas concert because of their religious beliefs. Maybe those same people didn’t come to baccalaureate. I don’t know.
Do you think baccalaureate is a good tradition?

Cheryl and I think baccalaureate was a very nice event.
I would like to thank the Brandon Valley Ministerial Association for hosting.
