Connetquot High School’s senior parking lot became a bright-colored canvas on Aug. 17 as seniors personalized their parking spaces during the school’s second annual Senior Paint Day. Carrying paint, rollers, brushes, stencils and design sheets, the students mapped out and created their designs individually and some with the help of family and friends. Student Government Vice President Mirza Mahim said more students participated in the event this year and that he was happy that everyone was having a great time. He explained that legally licensed participants purchased and chose a parking space for the school year at the end of the 2021-2022 school year. He also admitted that his design was a little more difficult than he intended, with a prospective business logo and Japanese lettering. Seniors Haylie Dorr and Cara Hodulick decided to collaborate on their themes, while Alyssa Ciccarelli, Matthew Plana and Jack Friedman combined their spaces to paint a huge American flag. Other seniors, like Samantha Tedeschi, decided to employ help from Class of 2022 graduates Kevin Lynch and Morgan Shurgin who assisted with painting of intricate details on a space of painted hands. The seniors are now looking forward to using their spaces as they drive up on the first day of school on Sept. 6.
