College and Career Readiness day, commonly referred to as CCR day after winter break, is filled with advice to all students about courses, credits and school opportunities. Students feel as if the information is rarely beneficial, the day is exaggerated, and the content is excessively repeated. A new idea sparked when Principal Erin Steep visited her old school and saw them doing something different: a celebration called Senior Olympics.
“Admin’s main goal is attendance, and with CCR day attendance is always horrible,” senior class president Eashaan Patel said. “So, now the idea is to give something for seniors to do, fun activities and an event that’s kind of a throw back to what we did when we were little, like a field day.”
Ellie McCoy, a member of the Chief of Staff, is currently working to plan activities and events.
“Our main goal is for all the seniors to have fun and to create long lasting memories as it’s their last year,” McCoy said.
