MILWAUKEE - With June just two months away, it won't be long before parents of high school seniors will be preparing for their children to graduate and move onto the next phase of life.

With such an important occasion approaching, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wants to give parents, caregivers, family members and friends the opportunity to share their appreciation of these students' accomplishments. To show this appreciation, we're asking for short letters written to graduates to be submitted for consideration to be included in the Journal Sentinel.

Here's how to submit a letter to your student to be featured in the Journal Sentinel

Any person with a 2024 high school graduate from any public, private or homeschool setting in the greater Milwaukee area can participate. Fill out this Google Form or email alec.johnson@jrn.com with the following information:

• The names of all those included in the photo,
• Explicit permission for the Journal Sentinel to publish the photo,
