Northern Guilford High School seniors tapped into their creative side while painting their parking spaces in the student parking lot the week before the start complet of school on Aug. 23. At top left, Isaiah Zaino sits beside his almost completed creation on the afternoon of Aug. 20. Zaino said it was “so nice to see all the people I haven’t seen in a year and a half (since the school went to remote learning in March 2020) while we were working on our parking spaces… I’ve definitely expanded my circle of friends just by painting my spot. It was a cool environment, and everyone was hanging out yesterday (Aug. 19) while painting.” For his parking space, Zaino tapped into his earlier years growing up in Montana, and included a mountain range, trees and the words “Good Vibe Tribe,” which he said reflect his positive outlook on life. At lower left, Amelia Howard shows her love for the colors blue and purple while incorporating flames to reflect her passion for becoming a vet. “I really want to be a vet,” Howard said. “I’ve wanted to do that since I was about 4, and it’s never stopped burning, so I included the flames because I’ll keep my fire burning and not let anyone put it out.”
