Two Rivers Senior Sunrise Day 2021 What is a senior sunrise you may ask? For most people, senior year is all about making memories and having the time of their life. Everyone looks forward to senior year and the final days they will spend with their childhood friends and classmates. So why not start a new tradition? On this day, senior students can wake up and head to the school in the early morning to watch the sunrise with their senior class and celebrate the beginning of the end, or maybe just the end. It would be amazing to have the entire class of 2021 there watching the sunrise while enjoying ourselves and each other’s company for one final time.
