DRS - Senior Dinner 1

For some students, the end of a senior year in high school is a time to celebrate–to finally be finished with high school. For seniors at DRS, the end of the year carries a bittersweet feeling. It is a time to reflect on an amazing four-year journey through the DRS experience. This past weekend was an emotional one for the Class of 2015. Last Tuesday through Thursday, the seniors drove to Virginia Beach for their senior trip. Sure, Busch Gardens Amusement Park, bowling, kayaking, and bike-riding were fun, but a highlight of the trip every year is the senior kumzits that takes place on the second night of the trip. Throughout the kumzits, led by menahel Rabbi Yisroel Kaminetsky, students share some of their feelings and memories of their four years in DRS. On Thursday night, seniors gathered together at the White Shul for the annual senior dinner. During the first half of the night, the students had dinner and shared their most inspirational moments of high school, followed by a “Four Years of Memories” slideshow. After dinner, the students were joined by their parents, at which point Rabbi Kaminetsky, and the rest of the administration, spoke about each student, highlighting each of their successes, achievements, character, and middot. The night ended with lively dancing and celebration. The “senior-bonding” didn’t end there, as a grade-wide Friday-night tisch and shaloshseudos was held over Shabbos.
