With two months of no school, everyone at SMHS has time to kick back and relax. Mackenzie Lloyd, a junior at SMHS, will be relaxing this summer by, “going to Los Angeles. I love going to the beach, shopping, trying new restaurants, and being in the heat!” During the summer, LA has average temperatures in the lower 80’s, keeping everyone there filled with vitamin D! Mackenzie also shares, “I’m going to be staying at Hermosa Beach where my family has a house, the beach is just a two minute walk away!” Hermosa Beach is known for its sandy beaches, surf culture, volleyball, and overall laid-back vibe. Filled with both locals and tourists, there are so many fun stores, restaurants, and activities to explore.
Allison Dodge, another junior at SMHS, plans on going to Italy this summer! She says, “I’m super excited to go to Italy this summer, I’ve never been! We plan on going to Rome, and the Amalfi Coast.” Italy is a beautiful country, with stunning architecture, beaches, cities, and more. Rome is known for its breathtaking architecture and ancient Roman landmarks including the Colosseum and the Patheon. The Amalfi Coast is known for its natural beauty with crystal clear waters, stunning views, and hiking trails. Allie is sure to have an amazing time in such a history rich and gorgeous country!
