The sun is setting for seniors as the school year comes to a close.

To wrap up the seniors’ final week, clubs such as SCA have planned several fun events to celebrate the upcoming graduation.

“The next two weeks are going to be extremely busy,” senior Kayla Ramer said.

Over the course of the last two weeks of the school year, seniors will have the opportunity to participate in activities such as senior sunset, a class picnic and a spirit week just for seniors.

“Senior sunset is one of the newer ones,” SCA advisor Mr. Christopher Gazze said. “One of our senior class officers proposed that and it got approved a few years ago. It’s just kind of a cool hangout with a smaller group of people.”

Earlier in the year seniors participated in a senior sunrise. This was a day when seniors gathered in the gravel parking lot and were able to hangout with friends and watch the sunrise.

“We had a huge crowd for fall’s (event), so it would be cool it you guys could match that,” Mr. Gazze said.

Seniors also can take a walk through their old elementary school dressed in caps and gowns to visit old teachers and show off their graduation gear for the younger kids.

“I’m excited to see all my old teachers,” Ramer said. “I think it’s such a cute idea.”

At each of the scheduled events students can expect food and snacks provided and games such as spike ball and cornhole.

“I plan on playing spike ball the whole time,” senior Everett Redinger said.

Class picnics also provide students with one last opportunity to hang out before graduation. Students who ordered them receive their yearbooks right before, so it provides students with time to get them signed.

Seniors also had a chance to participate in a spirit week for their last week of school. The themes chosen were dress as your younger or older self-day, favorite FNL theme, dress as your favorite teacher and decision day.

“The themes made the week interesting,” senior Alice Wilkinson said. “I made sure to go all out since this is my last one ever.”

SCA plans events such as these to bring students together one last time and as a sort of send off to the graduating class.

“I think it’s good to hang out,” Ramer said. “It’s nice to all be together one last time.”
