Freshman lock-in to be held Feb. 5
By Giselle Yrojo, WHS student
It’s that time of the year again when freshmen who have earned the privilege get to participate in their annual lock-in at Waynesville High School.
The lock-in will be held in the Waynesville High School’s gyms from 7 p.m. Feb. 5 to 6 a.m. Feb. 6.
“It’s a great experience for the freshmen,” said Freshman Mentor Nya Dorsey. “It gives them an opportunity to have fun and meet other people.”
To participate, freshmen must have met certain academic, behavior and attendance standards by earning an orange card or higher through the school’s Tiger privilege card program.
For their $15 admission, the lock-in offers plenty of activities to keep students awake all night, like laser tag, video games, basketball and volleyball.
A black light dance for all high school students will be held before the lock-in. Later in the night, freshmen will take a bus to the B&B Theatres Waynesville Patriot 12 to watch movies. There will be snacks and coffee to help everyone be even be more awake all night.
“In past years, most people don’t sleep,” said Aubrie Patrick, a member of the Freshman Council.
The night is about building relationships among freshman mentors and other freshmen.
Freshman Mentor Halle Craven said, “You’ll expect bonding with your class peers and your mentors.”
All night the event will have teachers and freshmen mentors with the freshmen. Teachers and counselors who will be there include Nicole Jarman, Cory Ace, Mike Gow and Theresa McNutt.
