On February 13th, our senior class had the chance to create unforgettable memories at a senior grade-wide sleepover held at our school’s very own castle. The night was packed with laughter, fun activities, and heartwarming moments, making it the perfect way to bond before graduation. Mrs. Randisi said she “knew she wouldn’t get any sleep, but was excited about all the fun the seniors were having.”
The evening started with a delicious dinner of pasta, delivered straight from a local restaurant. The variety of pasta dishes, from creamy alfredo to savory marinara, paired perfectly with fresh, crisp salads. We gathered around long tables in the dining hall, enjoying the feast while chatting, laughing, and reminiscing about our high school experiences. The delicious meal was the perfect way to fuel up for an exciting night ahead.
After dinner, the group dove into a game of hide-and-seek throughout the castle. The eerie, dimly lit halls and secret corners created the ideal setting for this classic game. Students darted around, trying to hide from their friends while the seeker tried to catch them. The game was filled with excitement and laughter, and the castle’s mysterious atmosphere only added to the thrill. When interviewing some students Tessa Deluca said she “hid in the walls!”
Next up, we shifted to some Galentine’s Day activities. We all got creative, making friendship bracelets and writing personalized cards for each other. The room was filled with energy and joy as everyone exchanged kind words and tokens of appreciation. It was a special way to celebrate the friendships that have shaped our high school journey.
The night took a sentimental turn when we watched a video created by our parents, showcasing adorable baby pictures of each of us. There were plenty of “Awws!” as each photo popped up, reminding us of how far we’ve come and how much we’ve grown. It was a touching moment that made us reflect on the love and support we’ve received from our families. When interviewing some seniors, they said that “this was a great bonding experience and way to bring our grade together”
Of course, no sleepover would be complete without a sweet treat! We indulged in ice cream, with a variety of flavors and toppings to choose from. It was the perfect way to end our evening of fun, and we all enjoyed it while relaxing and chatting with friends.
Finally, we gathered in the gym, where we laid out sleeping bags, blankets, and pillows. The gym transformed into a cozy space for us to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Conversations continued late into the night as we shared stories and laughter, while Mrs. Randisi tried to quiet us down. The night was one of celebrating the friendships we’ve built over the years.
The senior grade-wide sleepover was a night to remember. From pasta to hide-and-seek, heartfelt activities, and ice cream, it was an unforgettable experience that brought us all closer together. Thanks to everyone who made the night so special—we’ll cherish these memories for years to come!
