Senior Trip and Retreat

By Gaonou Lo and Bailey Dillon

During the weekend of Friday May 13 to Saturday May 14, the majority of the seniors participated in their last field trip together before they graduate in 2011.  The class as a whole voted for the location of their trip and retreat.  This year the seniors decided to go to Chicago, Illinois where they stayed at the Loyola Retreat Center and had a blast at Six Flags Great America. 

On Friday, the seniors’ retreat involved talking about moving on after they graduate and keeping their faith strong in college and never losing faith in God, no matter how bad things get.  The two retreat instructors told the class inspiring stories relating to their faith and becoming closer to God.  They did an activity that brought the class emotionally closer by expressing their deep thoughts that had never been shared until that point. 

On Saturday, the class spent most of the day at Six Flags, but majority of the seniors went to the Gurnie Mall.  It was an experience they will remember the rest of their lives.
