It's Graduation Time in Lakeville and Patch is Here to Help

Are you the proud parent of a graduate?

Want to post an announcement in the newspaper but don't want to pay for it? Good thing is here. You can post those announcements here and they're all free.

Somewhere, "Pomp and Circumstance" is playing, and someone is struggling to keep that mortarboard in place. Yep, it's graduation season, and whether it's your preschooler moving on to the big K, or your college senior heading out into the real world, you can brag about it on Patch.

But how? It's so easy ... seriously.

First, make sure you are a registered user of your Patch (if you aren't, click on "Sign Up" in the top right corner of the home page). Once you are logged in, scroll to the bottom of the home page and under Contribute on the right side, click "Announce something to everyone." 

In the announcement template, fill out all the fields, and make sure you choose Graduation as the category. When you are done, you can add photos and video of your graduate to make it really special. 

Then scroll to the bottom and click "Post my announcement." There you are! Send the link to all your friends and family so they can share in your proud moment.

Oh, and congratulations from Patch.
