Soap Lake class of 2026 ends high school at graduation ceremony
SOAP LAKE — Staff speaker Lee Levell gave some advice to the Soap Lake High School class of 2026 during graduation ceremonies Saturday. “There will be uncertainties no one can prepare you for. You will be forced to tackle them head-on,” Leavell said. “Life can be hard. However, life is also a gift that we must not take for granted or take too seriously. That is why, when you are faced with these challenges that you just think won’t end, it is important to remember to remember that you must find a way to enjoy yourself, because it is later than you think.
