Are the senior Pranks Worth It?

For many students, senior year is about graduation, passing classes, and finally applying for those scholarships everyone has been telling them to apply for the last three years. The last few weeks of their high school careers are hectic with the simple dilemma of “how am I going to be remembered?” Because of this, students rally together to find something exciting to do as a group that offsets the balance thru the halls and allows them to leave their mark for future classes to come. Typically, students strive to be funny by thinking outside of the box and the ordinary that makes other students and teachers do a double take on what just happened. Here is the problem with doing this however, is most of the time, the way seniors want to be remembered is typically not what staff and teachers see appropriate. What if seniors found a way to come together with underclassmen and leave the school better than the way they found it? What if seniors impacted their communities in a good way? What if “senior pranks” turned into “senior thanks?” As the kings and queens of the kingdom we call Perry, seniors have the opportunity to truly be the upperclassmen and show underclassmen how to act and care for one another. You don’t always have to make an impression by acting out; showing compassion and doing something good for the good of others can leave a mark that future students can look up to.
