Senior Ditch Day

On Tuesday, April 26, the seniors at WCS ditched school together and traveled to Chicago for a day of fun. Everyone had to get to the Big Timber train station at about 7:30 before the train headed out ten minutes later. Once aboard the train, everyone from Westminster was able to sit in one car. We were lucky to get so many seats together so we could chat and have a great ride to our destination.

It took about an hour until we arrived at Union Station and soon after arrival we set out for Millennium Park. Before long people split up into smaller groups to do their own thing around the city. While walking around Chicago we visited some famous places and landmarks such as the Bean, Buckingham Fountain, and Navy Pier. Time seemed to fly and after around four and a half hours it was time to go home. Some people boarded the train back to Elgin later than others but the good thing is, we all got back. Overall, the Senior Ditch Day was a success. Even though it rained, we all had a great time and enjoyed spending time with our friends outside of school.
