Italy — On Thursday May 15, immediately following the senior awards presentation at Italy High School, graduating seniors made their way over to the Methodist Church in Italy for the annual Ice Cream Social.

After playing a white elephant game where the students strategize and scheme to end up with the best possible prize, everyone was treated to cake, cookies and punch. Giving everyone a chance to socialize, visit and laugh in perhaps a different way than their usual school setting.

Rev. Ann Hitt addressed the students with words of encouragement and support as they each prepare to embark on a new chapter in their lives.

And with that, the party was just about over with graduation night this Friday.
