Senior Fun Day



A time old tradition for seniors in high school is to have a senior skip day. This unofficial holiday is a designated day, by students, where all the seniors decide to not attend school. While this has been something that seniors have done for a long time, the tradition has changed a bit for a number of high schools. In order to keep students safe and out of trouble, Senior Fun Day has been implemented into the high school schedule. This day is designed to let seniors have their day outside of class, but it is organized in a way that all the seniors can bond together and have fun. While some people still decide to skip Senior Fun Day, I had a good time socializing with many of the seniors as well as a select few of awesome teachers! Our day included eating, playing, eating, playing, and a little more eating and playing. While our time away from school was about four hours, the time flew by because we were all enjoying ourselves. Besides the normal football, frisbee, soccer, and other sporting games that were played, there was also a sumo wresting station and a bungee race. In the first picture the individual in red is a male, and then one in blue is a female. While the idea of flattening a female friend is something guys may think of, there is no time better to do it than when surrounded by a foot of padding. These sumo wrestling suits provided seniors the opportunity to strengthen many friendships. Also the bungee race was exciting because it involved racing as well as being whipped backwards at the end of the race. Also the facial expressions were priceless from everyone that did the bungee race. Overall Senior Fun Day marked the end of what is known and a start to a new beginning.

  2. Haha ya I did participate in the wrestling and I did get to jump on top of other people. It was great fun!

    Yes Alaska is much different than many people think it is. Most of these pictures were taken in the spring, so the snow is all just finally melting away and everything is starting to blossom.
