According to Keep America Beautiful, the majority of the trash found on both roads and waterways consists of fast food wrappers and packaging, receipts and plastic beverage bottles. Clubs like the National Honor Society (NHS) offer students the opportunity to earn service hours by cleaning up the trash in the parking lots. “[The trash] makes us look very unhygienic and unmotivated to be a proper school,” Emberlyse Vidal ‘28 said. “It makes us look like we just don't care about our students' environments.”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/20260220_1355020-2-1200x904.jpg)
The Last Hurrah
Class of 2023 ends their senior year with the annual paper toss.
May 9, 2023
Counting down from 10, seniors cheer and throw their schoolwork into the air as underclassmen watch the annual Paper Toss that took place in the main staircase and Commons at the end of the seniors’ last day of high school May 9.
Finals for all seniors took place May 8 and 9. Senior checkout, handprints, end-of-year assembly and Senior Sunset will take place May 12, with Senior Honors Night May 16 and graduation May 18.
“It’s so good to be done [with high school],” Zella Schnitzspahn ‘23 said. “I’ve been looking forward to this since my freshman year and [the Paper Toss] was a great way to symbolize the end of the last four years.”
