High school graduation is a milestone for any parent. For Jennifer and Chad Wolsey watching their son Caden receive his Bowie High School diploma Friday night was a special blessing, especially when they reflect on doctors telling them 12 years ago he probably would not make it past the age of 13 due to a rare genetic disorder.
Caden and his parents took part in most of the pre-graduation hoopla and proudly show off their “Senior Parent” T-shirts. After graduation Friday night Jennifer posted “it takes a village is no joke,” explaining they were blessed with many amazing teachers, paraprofessionals, therapists, nurses, bus drivers, fellow students, administrators, family, friends and a community in Bowie.
It was important for him to graduate with his class his mom says, because they have always been so good with him rallying around and supporting him.
It was evident this young man has impacted those around him. As he stepped up to receive his diploma from Superintendent Blake Enlow his fellow graduates and members of the audience stood to clap and cheer him.

Speed limit changes are being put in place on FM 103 North of Nocona. The 60-mph zone is being pushed North of Grayson Street.
As part of the transition, the 45-mph speed limit will be extended just North of the Texas New Mexico Power Office. Drivers see 50 mph signs up to Grayson Street where it becomes a 60-mph zone.
Portable message boards were placed on FM 103 on May 27 to advise motorists of the upcoming changes. The new signs will be unveiled and be enforceable starting June 3.
Citizens and officials with the City of Nocona requested the changes. They were approved by the Texas Transportation Commission in April.
Drivers should be prepared to watch and observe these new speed limits signs in Nocona. Drive safely in Montague County.
