Senior Jeans on a
Budget
by Michele Kidd and Morgan Lawson
Senior
jeans have been a tradition at Mooresville High School for as long as students
can remember. Some girls spend their entire high school careers looking forward
to wearing their very own Senior jeans, but when it gets down to making them,
they’re underfunded for the project. The cost for making Senior jeans may seem surprisingly
high, but following these simple steps could make Senior jeans a fun and
affordable breeze.
1.
Go
in with a friend. (It cuts cost in half and makes it more fun.)
2.
Bargain
hunt. (Walmart has a good craft selection for a low price. Goodwill jeans might
not be the fanciest but they get the job done.)
3.
Don’t
wait until the last minute.
4.
Brainstorm.
Some things that
usually go on senior jeans are quotes, pictures, glitter, puffy paint, names,
and friends’ signatures.
According to Mrs. Sharon Eickhoff,
“Senior jeans are a great tradition but I think they should only be for
seniors. No sophomore socks or anything.”
