Jonathan Law seniors celebrated their plans after graduation with a “Life After Law Day.”
On Friday, April 28, all seniors celebrated “Life after Law Day” with fun activities at the Jonathan Law football field. Seniors played corn hole, Spikeball, soccer, and ate free pizza and ice cream.
“Our goal with Life After Law Day was to celebrate every single student and their choice for life after Law,” Director of School Counseling Mrs. Dunnuck said. “It’s an opportunity for them to show off whatever they decided to do and get together to acknowledge every student’s success.”
The event was very successful and gave a way for seniors to come together and get excited for college.
“It made me feel more comfortable to see everyone with their college merch on and see where everyone’s going next year and see that we’re all on the same boat going to different places,” senior Sabrina Lawless said.
It was a good opportunity for seniors to have fun together before they graduate and spend one last day as a class.
“We got free food and played a lot of exciting games,” Lawless said. “We played really great games of Spikeball”
Seniors were able to celebrate with each other and talk about which college they are attending. It was a great way for everyone to feel more comfortable about going to college.
“We got to see where everyone’s going with their sweatshirts and merch and it was just an overall cool experience, to top it all off we get pizza and ice cream,” senior Jake Ackley said.
Before the event, teachers also wrote messages for the seniors to help them with the future. The messages were displayed outside each teacher’s door.
“From all the signs outside the teacher’s doors, I learned that you have to take advantage of the future and the new opportunities you’re getting,” senior Aislinn Burns said. “A lot of the teachers said to travel a lot and make sure you’re saving your money and exploring.”
Seniors recommend all juniors attend the event next year because it was a great opportunity for everyone to have fun and acknowledge all of their hard work.
“I think juniors should definitely go next year because it’s a great day to just get excited about college, have a lot of fun, and just let go of all the burdens for a little bit,” Lawless said.
