Every year New Haven High School lets their seniors decorate their lockers and the senior hallway for Christmas. This year the seniors decorated their lockers December 6th during 3rd and 4th hours. Seniors look forward to this every year because they get to spend time with each other and make memories in the process.
The seniors start with splitting into two separate groups. Groups are the even lockers and the odd lockers. This year, the odd group got to decorate their lockers while the even group put up the trees in the hallway and in the cafeteria. The seniors set up the Christmas tree in the cafeteria where they made different ornaments to go on the tree. Many of the students simply wrote out their name and graduation year. They also set up the small Christmas tree in the corner of the senior hallway. This tree was decorated with simple ornaments.
While the trees were being set up, the other seniors were wrapping their lockers up in different style wrapping paper. Some lockers were covered in Frozen wrapping paper while others were simple ones. Some seniors wrapped theirs in plain brown wrapping paper so that they could design it themselves. When a senior was done decorating their locker, they would decorate the trees or help string up the lights that hang from the ceiling.
The seniors also have a Christmas tree countdown to Christmas break. Just before Christmas break, all the seniors will help to take down all the decorations hanging up.
When asked about decorating, this is what some seniors had to say:
Grace Allgaier, senior, commented, “I had a lot of fun. I decorated my locker with Marvel wrapping paper.”
Dalyla Hurst, senior, said, “It was a lot of fun getting to decorate my locker with help from my friends. I covered my locker in a simple wrapping paper.”
Keerstin Mason, senior, says, “It was fun wrapping my locker. I wrapped it in an Elf-themed wrapping paper.”
For years New Haven High School has allowed their seniors to decorate the senior hallway, and every year the classes look forward to decorating. New Haven High School wishes their students and community a Merry Christmas.
