However, just four days after the last day of school, June 18, is Father\u2019s Day. Fathers do a lot for their families, especially those that attend River Hill, and their day of recognition deserves to be known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many students were unaware that June 18th is Father\u2019s Day. When asked what falls on June 18th, junior Renato Tejeda replied, \u201cIs it a national holiday?\u201d But even then, Renato does have plans for his dad, describing, \u201cI\u2019m going to Cancun, Mexico with my dad, we\u2019re going for 10 days with family friends.\u201d Father and son bonding time can provide memories that last a lifetime. Renato greatly appreciates his dad, detailing, \u201che does everything for me, he provides a lot for me and made me who I am today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Junior Mahnoor Rao was also unaware of the date of this holiday. However, she says that her family will probably have a memorable day. Mahnoor explains, \u201cWe are going to go down to a lake and go fishing, just spend time together as a family.\u201d As of now, it appears that the weather will be perfect for outdoor activities on Father\u2019s Day, not too hot and partly sunny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other students don\u2019t have concrete plans for the special day. Junior Jasna Bhambra explains, \u201cI plan to get him a gift, whatever he needs at the moment.\u201d However, just minutes later she concludes, \u201cI think it\u2019s more about the thought than the gift, maybe we\u2019ll go on a walk as a family.\u201d Whether purchasing a gift or just spending time with their fathers, everyone who has the opportunity should show their appreciation in some way on June 18th. Jasna further describes, \u201cI appreciate that my dad is present in my life, and he can be really funny with the way he acts.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adila Farhana Ahamed, a junior, describes that her family, \u201chas no concrete plans yet, but we\u2019ll probably have dinner out somewhere nice and cake.\u201d She knows her dad\u2019s favorite food, he loves pasta so Italian seems the best dinner option. What Adila appreciates about her father includes, \u201che\u2019s always supportive of what I do and he\u2019s a chill person to be around. He\u2019s more like a friend than a dad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to Adila, junior Hasan Mirasyedi shares his plans for Father\u2019s Day, commenting, \u201cI plan on getting my dad a gift and taking him out to dinner somewhere, probably a fried chicken place.\u201d Sitting down for dinner and just having a conversation can be very meaningful to family members, especially when it happens on rare occasions. Hasan values his father, explaining,\u201cI appreciate how much he does for me and he pays a lot of money for soccer and takes a lot of time out of his day for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While a lot of excitement happens for kids as school comes to an end, Father\u2019s Day should not be overshadowed. Buy a gift, write a card, spend time as a family, or do any other activity to show appreciation for dads on June 18th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Lux Sheplee, Staff Writer As school comes to an end, River Hill students\u2019 main focus is getting in late work and studying for finals.
