We’ve struck 24K gold 🤩💛💚👑⛏️
Prospects are golden for the 2023-24 school year as the Class of 2024 hits the jackpot with their Senior Run-In!
On the first day of school, as Head of School Russell Shaw welcomed assembled High School students and faculty in the Forum, “Bruno Mars” suddenly interrupted via video message with news that gold had been found beneath the school. Director of Student Community Programming Bobby Asher entered in a gold miner’s costume and began chopping at a rock-shaped piñata. As gold coins poured from the stone, the Class of 2024 charged into the Forum wearing their black $ENIOR$ t-shirts and dripping with gold accessories: crowns, gowns, and Mardi Gras necklaces. As High School Principal Yom Fox shared her “24 Pieces of Golden Advice for High School” and Senior Class President Julian Montes-Sharp welcomed the newest members of the High School community, the seniors interjected at every mention of“24” or “gold,” chanting “2024! 2024!”
p.s. They cleaned up after themselves 🙂
