All about the grads

Webb City High School commencement for the Class of 2023 is at 7 p.m. Friday at Cardinal Stadium. The Sentinel's annual SENIOR edition – in print – will be available Friday morning at Granny Shaffer's, Webb City Walmart, Take A Break and Fast 4 U. It will also be handed out at commencement. It may or may not be on the website, depending on if I can figure out how to do it. Please thank our sponsors, Hedge-Lewis-Goodwin Funeral Home, Simpson Funeral Home and Southwest Missouri Bank, for paying for the Joplin Globe to print it and for supporting to the Sentinel.
