100 ideas for ‘Things I Love About Stratford’ painting in The Pit

West Orange High School in Winter Garden, Fla., has a tradition of having seniors paint their parking spaces.

Sophomores and freshmen will celebrate Friday’s “Spring Fling” by painting parking spaces in “The Pit” from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m.

The students will use 1,260 pieces of chalk to paint their masterpieces. Photographer Lee McDavid will take an aerial photograph using a drone.

The theme is “Things I Love About Stratford.” The Upper School journalism and creative writing classes collectively came up with a list of 100 ideas for the Fun Friday.
