To start off senior year, the Class of 2026 Officers hosted a Senior Sunrise event on Friday, September 5th at 6:00 a.m. Seniors gathered on the field to watch the sunrise while also spending time with friends. The class advisors provided donuts and hot chocolate to everyone who came. The class officers also made a sign for seniors to take photos with. It was a cloudy morning but overall everyone had a good time and the Class Officers are looking forward to Senior Sunset at the end of the year!
On Saturday, September 13th, the seniors who handed in their painting submission form were able to paint their parking spots between 8:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. Overall it was an enjoyable event and the parking spots were very creative! Many families helped with the painting. This year’s designs include sunsets, cheetah print, and Clueless. By the end of year, students who painted their parking spots will need to cover it with black paint to avoid a $30 fine.
