Holcomb students and staff returned to school yesterday because, though many are reluctant to admit it, summer is over.
Aidan Unruh-Larson, senior, felt mid about returning. He is most looking forward to his college class. “Because I really like welding,” he said in a monotone. He will be participating in HALO and FFA this year because these clubs allow him to get more involved in the school. He is sad, though, because the end of summer means no more fishing.
Kynadee Ramsey, junior, is most looking forward to dance and show choir. “I’m not sure what my plans are for after high school,” she said, so she will spend this year pursing different options.
Brylie Kathman, sophomore, seemed neutral about returning to school. “I showed livestock over the summer,” she said.
Some students are more excited to be back than others.
Aadyn Rivera, freshman, was excited to be back. “I like school,” he said.
Trey Teeter, head football coach, had a fast and enjoyable summer filled with vacations and weights. “I’m most excited for the new kids and the opportunities that await them.”
Other teachers have personal agendas for the school year.
Mr. Scheibvogel, science teacher, is looking forward to spreading awareness about ocean acidification this year through his classes. “Because it’s a big problem.” But even more than environmental education, he is looking forward to his wedding this year. Whether he will change his last name or not is still anyone’s guess.
