Madison McDonald, a member of the dance team, says she will miss dancing with everyone, and dancing at the sports events.

Izzy Bernola, member of the cheerleading squad, and the girls track team says she will miss connecting with people that she wouldn’t be able to connect with without that sport.

As these seniors play for the last time, they start to think of all the memories that they made.

Madison Mcdonald, a member of the dance team, said, ‘’ My favorite memory is performing our routine from Christie for the first time at Meet the Team .’’

Lindsey Fayak said, “My favorite memory on the soccer team was when I scored a goal at Edison last year.”

Some of seniors expressed their advice for the underclassmen.

Aries Bennet says, “Get along with everyone, do what you are told, and be kind’.

Izzy Bernola said, “My favorite memory is when I went to the states for track my sophomore and junior year”.

Tanner Finsley says he can’t pick just one memory because he’s made so many.

Many of the seniors at Weir have been playing these sports since they were kids. When they had their last games and matches, they realized that it meant a lot to them.
