Members of the Class of 2025 at Riverbank High School started the day quite early on Friday, Aug. 23. They celebrated Senior Sunrise at 6:30 a.m. that morning.

They began arriving about 5:30 a.m. for this traditional event, as parents and friends started setting up breakfast tables, along with a couple of games for them to play while waiting for the sun to make its appearance.

Stretched out across the all-weather track were a small trampoline-like ball bounce, along with a couple of sets of cornhole equipment, and a bin filled with sports balls.

The most popular there were footballs and soccer balls.

As the eastern sky got brighter, seniors began to gather in the grandstand, posing for a class photo as the sun rose.

Following the group picture, lots of the students took individual shots with their friends to commemorate the day as they start their senior year.

After that, they adjourned to the entry area of the stadium, where parents and friends had prepared breakfast for them to enjoy before heading to class.
