Spring Break Plans Excite Students and Teachers

By Paige Gelling

The weeks between Christmas and Spring Break seem to be the longest weeks of the school year. Every month during the first semester has some sort of a break in it, but after Christmas the days seem to drag on. This year, Spring Break runs from March 26th through April 3rd. Many Newman Catholic High School students and teachers look forward to break because, for a vast majority, it means sun, surf, and sand. For others who are staying in the Wausau area, it means some much needed rest and relaxation.

Junior Erin Gassner is really looking forward to Spring Break. Although she is staying in frigid cold Wausau, she still thinks the week will be a lot of fun. “I plan to spend my time shopping, hanging out with friends, and possibly visiting a few colleges.”

Senior Melissa Vesel plans to head down to Sanibel Island, Florida. “My family and I have flown down the past several years, but this time we decided to drive so we can stop along the way and visit more sites. We are going with the Menzner family, which has been a tradition for many years. I plan to sit on the beach, read books, and simply enjoy some much needed relaxation.”

Computer teacher Mrs. Klein has some very exciting plans for this year’s Spring Break. “My family and I are “road-tripping” to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We’re leaving right after work on Friday, driving through the night, and arriving by mid-day on Saturday. We’re renting a condo on the beach. It’s so beautiful there. We plan to take long walks on the beach, search for shells, hang out on the beach, eat the local seafood, and just relax! The weather in that part of the state is usually 70 to 80 degrees. My favorite part is hearing the ocean outside the window when I go to bed at night. It’s the best!” 

From the looks of it, Spring Break is bound to be a great week for NCHS students and teachers alike. We hope they all travel safely to and from their destinations, and come back rested and re-energized to push through the rest of the school year.
