Traveling during spring break is an
essential for many Americans. One in three Americans traveled to a new destination
Spring break is approaching, which means the last long break for students before the end of the school year is near. For some, spring break is a reminder of warm weather, vacations and time off from stress while for the seniors of 2026, it’s a milestone of just two months before graduation. The first day of spring — or the spring equinox — falls in the last few days of the 10 day long break. Oftentimes spring is seen as a fresh start which can be shown by refreshing one’s home during spring cleaning or beginning to do outdoor activities again after the cold winter weather. Popular spring activities consist of gardening, hikes, bike rides and other outside hobbies as a way to get in the newfound sunlight. Spring sports are a great way to be involved in our school’s community and get some outdoor exercise while the weather gets warm again. Spring sports practice begins March 3 for Baseball, Softball, Girls Swim, Girls Soccer, Boys Golf, Boys Tennis and Track and Field. With spring sports picking up and finals approaching soon after, take spring break as a time to relax and keep stress at a minimum. Find time to wind down by going on a relaxing vacation, pick up hobbies like gardening or a new sport or spend quality time with family and friends as the new season starts. n Season

Cruise Line is very popular mid-March, causing prices to rise and demands to get higher. Other than the cruise ship craze, according to National AAA Booking Data, Florida is the top destination for U.S. travelers. The Band and Choir will be travelling to Orlando, Florida for spring break. Every two years Choir and Band go on a joint trip. While visiting Orlando they will go to Disney’s Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom, as well as other non-Disney attractions. It’s a four day long trip from March 14-18. Being involved in this trip is a good way to be connected to the community. “It’s an important outlet for us to experience different opportunities in music, and since the Band as a whole relied on group effort and teamwork, it’s a nice way to bond away from the pressures of everything else while building connections,” Araya Harness, junior, said. Other than school trips with teachers and peers, vacations are an exciting and cool way to connect with family whether you live with them or see them once every few years. A new and fun environment can bring out the best in people. Overall, vacations are a relaxing and exciting way to try something new. Taking the trip can bring out the most of some time off from school or work and provide relaxation before the stress of finals.
