The seniors at Pen Argyl Area High School started what they hoped will be a new tradition on Wednesday September 9, with a senior sunrise gathering. This gathering took place at Wind Gap Park at 5:45 a.m., bringing members of the senior class together in the early morning before the school day.
Several arrangements were planned before this took action. These preparations included making signs for pictures, bringing breakfast, and making sure the location was accessible for the senior class.
Ella Bonatz, a senior, said “Some preparations I had to make were creating ideas and signs with some of my classmates so we could all take pictures and make sure we keep this memory with us forever.”

Holding this event outside of PAHS gave the students an opportunity to spend time together in an environment where they don’t have to worry about school, sports, or activities. Students could talk with friends, take pictures, eat breakfast, and create new memories.
“Starting my senior year at an event like this is great. It brings everyone in our grade close together while taking pictures and enjoying the sunrise.” said senior Cameron Tymiski.
The seniors were able to come together and partake in a fun event that was focusing specifically on them. Different schedules, classes, and activities make it hard to spend time together as a whole class. Events like these help bring the seniors together and mark the start of their last year at PAHS.
"Starting my senior year at Senior Sunrise makes everything feel real. It’s a reminder that this is the beginning of my final year of high school and that I should take in every moment!” said senior Addisyn Sutton.
The Senior Sunrise will be remembered as one of the first events of the school year for the Class of 2027. Opportunities like these act as little milestones until graduation hits the corner. As the school year continues the senior class will participate in other activities where they can spend time with their friends and fellow classmates.
