For some, this spring break meant travel while for others it meant a break at home. Many students visited tropical destinations such as beaches or islands.
“Most of the time for spring break my family and I go to Disney or Universal. It’s one of my favorite parts of the school year and serves as a nice break from my daily routines during school,” Blake Colotto ’28 said.
For others this week off of school was a reset. Those that stayed home hung out with friends and cleaned their room. After many months of busy lives the break offered a chance to relax.
“I stayed home this year for spring break and at first I was sad that I wasn’t going anywhere but then after a couple days I realized how nice the break was. There were so many of my friends at home that I could hang out with. It was like a preview of summer,” Natalie Davies ‘28 said.
While many students had time off during this break, Berlin’s student athletes remained busy with games, practices, conditioning, and team trips. The softball team went to Tennessee and finished with a record of 2-3, the boys lacrosse team also went to Tennessee and ended with a record of 2-0. On the other hand the baseball team traveled all the way to Florida and headed home with an undefeated record of 4-0.
Some students remained busy with responsibilities outside of school. Others petsat, babysat, and pick up extra hours at their place of work. Despite the lack of “break” they still found time to relax.
“Though I stayed at home for break I was very busy. I worked, had track practice, and had other jobs to do at home. Even with all this I found time to hang out with my friends and get some much needed rest,” Bekah Lape ‘26 said.
Overall many spent time outdoors, slept in, or just relaxed. The break was not just about where they went or what they did but more so a break from school.
Returning to school will be hard for some but the fact that we are in the home stretch of school helps.
“It’s always pretty hard to get up on the first day back from a break but I made sure to set multiple alarms and I’m going to go to bed very early,” Olivia Rohr ‘28 said.
