The seniors from Rudyard High School have returned home from their trip to Orlando, Florida. I got to speak to a couple of the seniors about their trip, and they all agreed that it was a good time shared by all.

The trip began Saturday, May 17, in chartered a bus. Jessie Loonsfoot reported that they went to Orlando, Busch Gardens, Coco Beach, and Wet and Wild.

They enjoyed shopping at Disney, and enjoyed spending time with their classmates before ending the school year.

Brandt Brown said that they enjoyed Planet Hollywood, as well as Ron Johns. "It was sad to know that graduation was just around the corner."

Katie Carter enjoyed Busch Gardens the most. The animals and safari tours were exciting, she said. This year's chaperones were Kim Falbo and Heather Suggitt. Everyone returned home Friday, May 23.
