Flathead Valley Community College will follow one of nursing’s oldest traditions by honoring its first class of registered nursing graduates during a pinning ceremony Aug. 10. The ceremony will take place at 4 p.m. in the large community meeting room inside the Arts and Technology Building on the college’s Kalispell campus.

The following students will receive their registered nursing pins:

• Christine Reid of Bigfork.

• Heidi Marcum and Stacie Pugh of Whitefish,
