How do you feel about having lunch with seniors?
Aaliyah Hoover (9th)
“I don’t mind because my sister is a senior so I can be with them and they kinda show us how to be mature since they’re upperclassmen.”
Madilyn Medrano (9th)
“I feel like lunch with seniors is weird because the freshmen don’t really know anybody, but it’s smart.”
Myra Medina (9th)
“I don’t mind seniors eating lunch with freshmen because they set good examples for us and teach us how to be mature.”

"The experience honestly felt so surreal overall. It really hit me that morning that this was my last year of high school.
