By NICOLETTE SMITH 

With the school year rapidly coming to an end and the summer quickly creeping up, events that students have been looking forward to all year have finally arrived. From seniors counting down the days until graduation to juniors frantically, yet excitingly, preparing for prom, and even the underclassmen participating in school functions like Hope Ball, there is so much for students to get excited about at WHS.

For the seniors here at WHS, their high school years are coming to a close, but with that, the end of the year events are flowing in as scheduled. Even though the seniors are a bit anxious about moving on to the next chapter of their lives, they are eager for the senior functions to arrive. Dylan Turcott, a senior at WHS, expressed his excitement by saying, “As a senior, we have a lot of events coming up like Senior Banquet, the senior barbecue, senior awards, and especially graduation.”  He went on to say that “something that our class is doing different than the past year is Mr. WHS.”

Certainly, graduation is the most bittersweet event of them all.  Turcott conveyed, “Even though Mr. WHS is one of my favorite events, nothing can overcome graduation and that feeling of relief that we will get knowing that we finally completed high school. Graduation also gives us that feeling that we are free to have fun and spend as much time as possible together over the summer before we leave for college.”

The seniors are not the only students that have enjoyable events to look forward to both in and out of school. The juniors, and the rest of the underclassmen, have a plethora to look forward to with the school year winding down as well. Vinny Martello, a junior at WHS, revealed, “I’m excited to spend the summer with all my close friends, especially to make good memories with my senior friends before they leave for college. I’m curious to see what this summer holds and how much fun we are going to have.” 

The Wizards at WHS have certainly been feeling a mix of emotions with the last few weeks of school approaching. Some are thrilled to take part in their last school functions before they say their final goodbyes to WHS, and others are ready to take on the adventures that go along with summer vacation. Even though some students are looking forward to different events more than others, all students here at WHS are anticipated to create enjoyable memories with all of their friends.
