At Byron High School, Triple E Day is an experience filled with excitement, learning, and relaxation. Students are given numerous choices of activities or events to participate in for a few hours in the morning. A few of these are yoga, fleece tie blanket-making, hiking, and cribbage. There are plenty of options to choose from, and students never have trouble finding an activity that suits their interests.
Triple E Day is a great way to break up the long weeks of school as well. Staff members always seem to plan it when students are feeling run-down and losing their drive to succeed. Triple E Day is used to rejuvenate our brains, and it allows for an opportunity to relax and forget about schoolwork and responsibilities. Students can enjoy themselves and each other’s company during their activities, as well as socialize with teachers outside of class time.
If you asked Byron students what they think of Triple E Day, I can guarantee you that almost all of them would say that they love it. It’s a great chance for them to learn a new activity, have fun with something that they already know, or just unwind with their classmates. Not only does Triple E Day expose students to unique (and sometimes new) activities, but it also gives some students the opportunity to get out of the high school and into the outdoors. This year, some groups traveled to Oxbow Park where they went canoeing, hiking, and exploring nature. Other groups went to local fishing spots and tried their luck at those places.
Triple E Day is an extremely effective way to break up the quarter and to allow students to have a little bit of fun at school. Because of the large amount of varying activities, a student would have trouble finding one that they do not take interest in. Not only do students love Triple E Day, but teachers do as well. No matter what activity you choose, the staff member in charge of it is fun to work with, and the students have a blast no matter what."
