Today, our senior class enjoyed one of their final traditions, an afternoon together at Mad River Farm Market for their annual senior lunch. 🍕
They shared pizza, laughter, and time together as just the Class of 2026… and yes, probably a little conversation about senior assassin too, let’s be honest. 😉
Moments like these mark the beginning of a season filled with “lasts.” Last lunches, last walks through the halls, last games, last memories being made together. It’s a time that feels bittersweet, joyful, and a little emotional all at once.
We are so proud of this group and all they’ve accomplished, and we’re grateful for the memories they’re continuing to make in these final weeks. And a big thanks to the Mad River Farm Market for hosting our group today! 🧡
