One last hurrah: Staples holds picnic to celebrate senior class BY: Mia BOMBACK '25

Before they embark on their internships, Staples' seniors celebrated their last day of school, May 12, with an annual picnic organized by the senior class advisor and a team of faculty. Seniors spent the day basking in the sun with friends, playing lawn games, or saying goodbye to beloved teachers and friends before graduation. The event began at 11:15 on the Staples football field.
