Seniorsgiving took place on the baseball field after school on Nov. 22. This event was a farewell activity created for the seniors to bond and have a relaxing start to their Thanksgiving break.
At Seniorsgiving, students had the opportunity to watch a movie, play sports and games, and eat food provided by fellow seniors. Seniors also had the opportunity to take polaroid photos and contribute to painting a poster.
Seniorsgiving was coordinated and directed by the Class of ‘26 ASB cabinet, senior class president Jason Nguyen said. It was created to show appreciation towards the senior community, as the class had shown the Class of ‘26 cabinet immense support in previous events, Nguyen added.
“We wanted to do one last senior event before the semester ends,” Nguyen said. “Since Thanksgiving is coming up, we wanted to do a fun social with a movie, music, and food.”
Seniorsgiving was postponed for some time due to rainy weather, Nguyen said. Despite previous issues, he believes that the event went well overall, he added.
“I saw a lot of people interacting with others in our grade,” Nguyen said. “They were playing football and spike ball, so it was pretty fun. Also, during the movie, people laughed during the funny parts, so I think that was also pretty good.”
Compared to previous events the class held this year, such as Senior Sunrise, he believes that Seniorsgiving was not as popular, Nguyen said. However, he believes that this event’s turnout was better than events from junior year, he added.
“If we compare Seniorsgiving to events from junior year, not a lot of people went to them,” Nguyen said. “I think that now that people are seniors, they want to go to these last events.”
Before the event, seniors had the chance to vote between “White Chicks” and “Ten Things I Hate About You” for their movie choices.
Senior Gabriella Stewart voted for “Ten Things I Hate About You,” she said.
“I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I heard it’s really good,” Stewart said.
Senior Edwin Rivera attended Seniorsgiving with his friends, he said. He found this event important, as it was the last event available for seniors within the first semester, Rivera added.
“That importance influences seniors to go to the event so that they can cherish that moment before they graduate and head off to college,” Rivera said.
