  Hundreds of people showed up for the Uvalde High School Bonfire outside the Honey Bowl Wednesday evening, October 30th following the Homecoming Parade. The Uvalde High School band played just before the big UHS letters and the accumulated cardboard pile were lit.

   As the fire grew, many students near the pile could be seen holding up cell phones taking pictures and video of the scene. 

Just across the street from the Honey Bowl, long lines of people were seen just outside Crossroads Community Church for the free snow cones being given away. 

The Uvalde Volunteer Fire Department was on hand with their big tower truck parked near the field where the bonfire was located.

Under no circumstances would the Uvalde High School Class of 2024 Graduation Night lose any of its pomp. 

  Both the home and visitor stands at the Honey Bowl were brimming with excited friends and family members were waiting to see their child reach the important milestone of earning his/her high school diploma. 

  Uvalde CISD Superintendent Ashley Chohlis would be the first to speak, congratulating the class of 2024 on a job well done followed by the Salutatorian Address given by Jaime E. Martinez Jr. followed by Rielly A Mize’s Valedictorian speech. 

  As each student would walk up to the stage and be handed their respective diplomas, Parents, family and friends would often be heard from the stands cheering, clapping and holding congratulatory signs. 

  It would be the last night the entire Class of 2024 would be together before each one would walk a different path starting the next chapter of their lives.
