Students sat down in groups after getting breakfast for the rest of the period. “As seniors, we don’t have many honors breakfasts left, and I’m glad we have a period every quarter to celebrate our achievements,” senior Erin Martinez said. (Photos/Shreya Shanmugam and Lilian Faillace)

Some tables competed in intense games of Jenga. Students played to win among their own friend groups or banded together with students from other tables to create towering Jenga towers. “Jenga was a great way to pass the time,” senior Natasha Cruzado said.
