Congratulate Your Graduate on Patch

Hundreds of thousands of students, many from the local area, will be graduating in the next few weeks. Do you have someone special you want to congratulate for this achievement?

If you have a friend or family member graduating from high school or college this year, you can post the announcement on Midtown Patch and share the news with family and friends.

To post a free announcement, click here. Once you have signed in, select "graduation" in the category drop down box. Enter the graduate's name, school and any other details you'd like to share.

Directly below the "description" box, you'll see an "Upload photos and videos" button. If you'd like your announcement featured on the Midtown Patch home page, be sure to add a photo or video. Only announcements with photos or video will be featured on the home page.

Once you have filled in the information about your graduate and added a photo, look for the "Post My Announcement" button at the bottom of the page.

Once your announcement is posted, you can share the announcement with family and friends across the country and congratulations can be added in comments. There is an easy way to share by using the sharing tools located above the announcement where you can Tweet it, e-mail it or post it to Facebook.
