THE LONG AWAITED FINAL CLASS TRIP

By DANIELLE IMPERATO

With the seniors' experiences at Washingtonville High School soon coming to an end, everyone has been looking forward to making memories one last time with the class of 2019, that one last trip to solidify the class as a whole and bring students closer than ever before.  Although June is a long way off, the final year at WHS for these students will be over in  the blink of an eye. Great Escape in Lake George will soon be getting a taste of how fun and energetic the class of 2019 really is. 

DANIELLE IMPERATO FOR THE WIZARD WEEKLY

On Friday June 7th, the seniors  of Washingtonville High School will be departing the school at 1:00 and heading up to Lake George for one of their last adventures together.  The list of activities during the trip goes on with exciting events planned out from 12:00pm all the way to 3:00 am. The exhilarating plans for the seniors include a foam dance party with a live DJ, the White Water Boy Indoor Water Park, a hypnotist, movies being shown, and an arcade! Don’t worry. Parents will feel at ease because there will be professional security at the hotel during all of these times to ensure everyone's safety. 

Class president, Ben Sorenson, is thrilled that there was enough money raised in the past three years of fundraising to make this trip possible. Ben expressed, “I think that the outcome of the trip will be fantastic.  Great Escape is an awesome amusement park and the park and hotel is restricted to only seniors for the night so it should be a lot of fun.  It will be a huge success and a great high school memory, as long as there are 80 people signed up in order to make it happen.” 

There were a few steps taken along the way to choose a perfect spot for this amazing adventure. The 2019 class advisor, Mrs. Krogslund, along with the class officers, narrowed the choices down of places to go then posted a survey on google classroom to allow the students to vote on which location they wanted visit.  Surely, Great Escape won and the students could not be happier!

Senior, Lindsey Tonkin, explained, “I am most looking forward to being able to bond with, not only my friends, but other classmates I don't normally get to talk to or hangout with. I also am very excited to be able to be there to celebrate my 18th birthday with all the fun activities they have planned.”

With the price of a mere $200 per student, which covers all expenses of the hotel and most food, the class is hoping that 80 people will sign up and hand in their $50 deposit by December 12th. Seniors, spread the word and help the class create amazing memories for one last time!
