A Sweet Trip

by Rachel Themistokleous ‘26

There is talk about introducing a pre-graduation trip for the graduating Class of 2026. During the SGA election for class president, junior Stephanie Rinelli ran to be next year’s senior class president. She built her candidacy upon the idea that she would get the class a graduation trip as a final senior activity, organized by herself and the school. After she won the election, the plan was pushed into further action. On the morning of May 14, an email was sent out to the Class of 2026, with a survey attached asking students if they would be interested in going on a trip to Hershey Park. A trip like this is a great idea for the students.

Organizing a trip for the graduating senior class provides a very fun and memorable way to celebrate the end of 13 years of schooling. It recognizes all the hard work students have achieved over time, and rewards them with an exciting and relaxing trip. It also allows for a final opportunity to bond with classmates before graduation, and gives students a break from academic and college stress. The trip will also help students create lasting memories with their peers for them to carry as they go their separate ways after graduation.
