As the Jewish calendar is flipped to year 5785, students and faculty reflect on their Rosh Hashanah traditions and explain how they plan to celebrate the new year. Rosh Hashanah took place Oct. 3 and is the first of the High Holy Days in Judaism. It marks the beginning of the new year on the Hebrew calendar. Those who celebrate often get together with family and eat symbolic food such as apples and honey, expressing hope for a sweet and fruitful year to come.

Many seniors took pictures with their family and friends after the ceremony to capture moments during Founders Day. "A moment that I enjoyed is right after Founders Day, when a lot of seniors were taking pictures," Curry said. "They were kind of doing things [to] soak up those last Founders Day memories. Because even if we forget what was said during the speeches, and even if we forget everyone who was in our class, who will forever have those pictures, and those will be cemented memories."](https://archeroracle.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/k-1200x800.jpg)
