SENIOR TRIP: PLAN B

class of 2021

by Shae Whittle (‘21)

In following the 2020-21 theme of trying new things and rolling with the punches, the seniors traded in their skis and slopes for fast passes and Florida heat during the senior class trip to Orlando this year. Mr. and Mrs. Fair took the lead to create a week-long memorable class experience in Florida in lieu of the annual CCS trip to Breckenridge, Colo. What usually takes six months to plan had to be accomplished in only a couple of months, so stress levels were high; however, the trip was extremely successful and memorable in numerous ways. From feeling like we were on a Food Network show while running through Walmart for groceries to speed walking through parks to get front row on every ride, each day brought new memories and an abundance of class bonding experiences. We started each morning with daily devotions with Mr. Giller talking about the five questions we all ask. We made our way through Sea World, Busch Gardens and Disney Springs, with a final two days in Universal Studios to wrap up the trip. Whether we were screaming until our voices gave out or walking miles upon miles to make each ride, our senior class made the most of our week in Orlando, making it a time we will never forget!

Screaming until our voices were gone, and staying out in the sun until we were as red as tomatoes - these are the moments I won’t forget from our senior trip. Even though afterwards we couldn’t really talk or move our bodies, we still managed to make the most of it and always make more time for more rides. It was nice to see how the world would be once college starts and now I look forward to it even more!
