Happy Leap Day! Yes, it’s that special time of year again—well, actually, it’s that special time that comes once every four years. February 29th is here to remind us that the calendar is just as quirky as we are. For high school seniors, this extra day is like a bonus track on your favorite album or a secret level in a video game. So, how can you make the most of this leap day, especially when it’s your senior year? Let’s dive into some leap-tastically fun ideas!
Why Leap Day Matters: Leap Day is all about the unexpected and making the most of extra opportunities. It’s a day that defies the ordinary, much like your senior year should be. It’s a reminder that sometimes the calendar throws us a curveball, just like life. But hey, it’s one more day to enjoy being a high school senior, right?

Host a "Time Warp" Movie Marathon: Gather your friends for a movie marathon featuring films that play with the concept of time. Think "Back to the Future" or "Groundhog Day." Bonus points for dressing up as characters from the movies!
