The 2024-2025 school year is coming to an end. While it is bittersweet for seniors, the rest of the school can’t wait for a much needed vacation
Summer is a time for students and staff to regenerate their energy while also participating in fun activities, like swimming, relaxing, spending time with family and friends, and the most important thing, catching up on sleep!
Students had great ideas on how they should spend their vacation and make the most out of these short two months.
Jillian DePerno, a junior, has a lot of summer activities planned.
“ I enjoy the warm weather, going on vacation to Cape Cod and the Hamptons, swimming, and having fires in my backyard,” Jillian said. “I like summer because I get to sleep in, hangout with friends, and regenerate from the school year.”
Something that everybody lacks during the school year is sleep. Everybody struggles to stay awake in classes, and summer is the perfect time to catch up on all the sleep that you have lost during the school year.
“Students need time to relax free of schoolwork and work-work. Relaxing during summer break is important because it allows students to recharge for the fall. After a stressful year of nonstop work, students who do not kick back will find themselves burnt out and less motivated when school starts again,” recommends counselors on the website called Yes to summer vacation!
We all know that summer calls for ice cream. What is the most popular flavor?
71% of Americans who have vanilla as their favorite flavor eat ice cream year-round, whereas 85% who have chocolate as their favorite flavor are year-round ice cream consumers, according to Best ice cream flavors
But what flavors are the most popular in New Hartford? Cookies and cream was the most popular flavor, along with mint chocolate chip, and cotton candy.
Summer 2025 is just around the corner and students and staff can officially relax!
