Seniors Paint Parking Spots

a friends and family tradition

by Aspen Swecker

Every year, special senior events include painting senior parking spots. On August 12, seniors picked their parking spot and went out with their friends and families to the event.

Seniors get the opportunity to create their own design for their parking spots.

“It was a very last-minute idea but I always used to love watching Phineas and Ferb but mainly seeing where Perry ended up going every episode,” senior Jazmyn Hunter said. “I was inspired to use ‘Where's Jazzy’ with Perry the Platypus because I'm usually the friend who gets distracted easily and disappears from an activity and they usually have to come and find me or yell my name to come back,” she said.

This tradition often includes more than just the seniors.

“Being able to do it with all of my friends and giving an extra hand or helping each other out if needed was nice. We definitely had to have small dance parties to keep us going throughout the day,” Hunter. said At the beginning of their last year in high school, most seniors had mixed feelings about graduating.

“I’m pretty sad but I’m actually really excited at the same time. I feel like I’ve had a good experience,” said senior Kennedy Taylor.

The tradition of senior parking spots has been going at Basic for nine years.

“We have been doing senior parking spots since 2014,” Student Council advisor Lucille Peveler said.
