A brunch will be held at 10 a.m. with the help of parent volunteers. Students will share senior memories and participate in field games and activities. The bus shuttle will take them back to the high school at 1 p.m. for dismissal.

Millette said she has received 75 permission slips from seniors planning to go on the trip, which is nearly half of the class.
