IB Senior Breakfast is an annual event which serves not only to commemorate the seniors in IB for their hard work, but it also serves as one last event before testing begins, and a last way for the IB Senior Class to get together, as graduation is soon approaching.

Originally planned to occur on May 1, the event was moved to May 2, to try to allow for more people to pay the ten dollar entrance fee and to accommodate with the prom change of date. One of the ideas when planning the breakfast was for as many people to attend as possible, and to have a flow, from one senior event into another. Once the event was over, this tone was clearly set for the weekend.

Although the event is typically held outside of school, this year the venue was our very own new cafeteria. They felt that not only would it be more convenient, but it will also allow for the price to be reduced. Many people did not feel as though it would have the same affect because it was in school, while others realized the fundamental nature of the event was to spend one of the last few days with the teachers and peers that make the IB class so unique and enriching.

At 7:45 am, teachers were instructed to release all IB Seniors from a list they had been sent. As they entered the new building, they were greeted, checked off of a list, and handed either a blue or red bead. The line for the food was established right away as the buffet style had an array of eggs, sausage, bagels, pastries, potatoes, and so much more. The breakfast immediately attracted the attention of various students, many of them having even gone back for seconds later in the event.

“Even if it wasn’t at a fancy place, the new cafeteria was organized very nicely and the decoration was splendid. My friends and I enjoyed it to the max,” senior Leah Botton said.

On the tables, there was also a variety of candies from gummy worms to chocolate. The students were provided with goody bags so they could have as much candy as they please, and maybe even take some back to class.

Although the video created by seniors Lorraine Cruz and Mia Rathjens was not able to play, Melissa Perez, IBHS historian, was able to distribute the superlatives each IB student voted on earlier in the year.

“It is a way for IB seniors to really commemorate the year and share a few final laughs before the coming graduation,” senior Francesco Sautto said.

The superlatives were awarded as follows:
