This past Thursday, the Millennium Brooklyn seniors, first graduating class, left the school during fourth period to take part in the school’s senior photo shoot. The shoot took place in Prospect Park. The senior class split into their advisories and took the 15 minute walk in 40 degree temperature to the park.

The entire class body was required to wear the senior t-shirts that they received two weeks earlier during an assembly. The school sent out an email a few days before to advise seniors to wear a long-sleeved undershirt under their t-shirts.

The event was predicted by school administrators to take up at least two periods, fourth and fifth. Students were also forewarned by the school that the photo shoot might go into their lunch period, and were advised to bring a packed lunch. However, the shoot was more expedient than anticipated, and it ended before the start of fifth period, effectively giving the seniors a double period lunch.

The students had to organize into an outline of the number 15, for the year in which they will be graduating. The photographer the school hired took several photographs, as the class body stood in the outline for about twenty minutes in the cold weather. Arianne Bienvenu, a senior in Ms. Wentz’s advisory who saw a sneak peek of the photographs said, “from the ground it looked like nothing, but in the pictures the 15 looks amazing.” Two photographs were officially released to the senior grade via attachments sent in an email. Indeed the 15 was amazing.
