On Sunday, September 27, Pen Argyl students gathered to paint their parking spots in the school parking lot.
This event was organized by the senior class officers and senior class advisor, to give students an opportunity to express their creativity in a place important to them.
This is the fifth year of this event, and it was started by the Class of 2022 senior class officers. It is the goal for “everyone to make their spot their own so they smile pulling into the lot each morning,” said Kritsa Campbell, senior class advisor.
It was aimed to be a relaxed event, “just make sure your designs are school appropriate and stay within your parking spots,” said Brody Hannick, senior class president. While this is not a traditional fundraiser, there is a $15 dollar charge for going outside the 60X80 inch area within your spot. This charge helps to “pay for the black paint to repaint over the spots at the end of the year,” which Hannick also mentioned.
There was much planning involved with parking spot painting, and the senior class officers helped to get the date secured.
This event was centered around celebrating creativity, “we get to see everyone’s ideas, allow them to express their individuality, and bedazzle the parking lot,” said senior class vice president Kayla Gloth.
“I did enjoy painting my parking spot,” said Julia Warnken, a senior at Pen Argyl. It was seen as a “useful event that allowed us to be creative and have a great time with friends,” said Warnken.
Many students got to express their creativity and create parking spots throughout the day.
