Soon-to-be-Grads Take to the Streets in Old Lyme with Car Parade

Guess what is happening the next day for these (and all other) Lyme-Old Lyme High School seniors! All photos by Michele Dickey.

OLD LYME — On Wednesday evening, the seniors from Lyme-Old Lyme High School (LOLHS) took the streets — Lyme Street, that is — to celebrate their penultimate day as students at the school.

This car proudly displayed the Class of which these LOLHS seniors will be members for the rest of their lives.

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

Banners displaying the ‘Class of 2025’ were everywhere.

The soon-to-be-graduates, who will celebrate their Commencement Thursday evening, June 12, were cheered on by parents, friends and community members all along the parade route.

Smiles abounded in this vehicle.

The residents of both Lyme and Old Lyme took this special opportunity to wish the seniors well in the next chapter of their lives.

Vehicles came in all shapes and sizes!

Congratulations to all the LOLHS seniors on their impending graduation!

We hope you (seniors) enjoy the Thursday evening post-graduation festivities … and here are a few more photos from the parade for you and all our readers to enjoy!

Enthusiasm for the next day’s graduation ceremony was visible everywhere.
So much to celebrate!
Old Lyme emergency vehicles particpated in the parade. First a firetruck …
… then an ambulance, and then several more.
Our photographer, Michele Dickey, celebrated the soon-to-be-graduates—and one in particular—with her grandchildren, Cecilia and Luca.
