This is a week of school coverage. Our annual Graduation Special Section features photos and information about our local high school graduates in preparation for upcoming commencement ceremonies. A school staff member is the recipient of a special state award, and the Island schools hold a mental health day. Stonington's water main replacement project continues with granite blasting and construction expected. And a bridge walk is among the festivities planned later this month to celebrate the 85th anniversary of the opening of the Deer Isle-Sedgwick Bridge.
