Many seniors expressed their interest and enjoyment in other people’s outfits and accessories. Seeing their friends and classmates in comfy clothing brought them together for the day.
“It was super comfy wearing pajamas to school. I also carried around a blanket and squishmallow, and it was funny seeing other people carry around blankets, pillows and stuffed animals too,” senior Caley Caleca said.
During the day, many of the seniors took photos in the dead hallway and in other areas of the school. In between the second and third period of the school day, the seniors took an opportunity to nap in the dead hallway, blocking the walkway. Some seniors expressed their enthusiasm about the event.
