OLD LYME — Yesterday evening, the Seniors from Lyme-Old Lyme High School Seniors took the streets — Lyme Street, that is — to celebrate their penultimate day as students at the school.

They held a carefully planned parade in their decorated cars traveling slowly down Lyme St. to Ferry Rd., ably supported by Old Lyme’s Police, Fire and Ambulance Departments.

The soon-to-be-graduates, who will celebrate their Commencement tonight, June 8, were cheered on by parents, friends and community members all along the parade route.

The Seniors clearly enjoyed the experience …

… and the people of both Lyme and Old Lyme took this special opportunity to wish the Seniors well in the next chapter of their lives.

Congratulations to all the Seniors on their impending graduation and enjoy the festivities (safely) tonight!
