Summer is just around the corner, and everyone has their own favorite activities planned! If you’re unsure about what to do this summer, you’re in luck. I interviewed some PHS students and teachers to gather ideas for your summer plans. Here are some suggestions to consider!
Personally, I enjoy outdoor adventures with friends or family, such as hiking, camping, and swimming. I also like sunbathing and stargazing.
