3rd and 4th period Preschool: six students total

My third and fourth period are set in a block period because of preschool. But school for our preschool students had been cancelled in advance due to senior skip day.

Rachel Friedman said she chose to come to school today on her own, rather than being forced.

“It would have been a waste of a good day of school not to come,” Friedman said.

Even though she helped with unofficial planning for Senior Skip Day, Senior Class President Paige Ernst was not able to skip herself.

Ernst travels with her competitive cheerleading team often, so she sometimes misses school while travelling. She could not afford to miss today as well.

“I need to be able to go to prom, so I did not want to miss today and get put on social probation and then as a result not be able to go to prom,” Ernst said.
