Who's Been Decorating Central In Stickers

Toward the end of the 2021-2022 school year, I was going to the girls locker room when something colorful caught my eye. Upon further investigation, I found myself face-to-face with a pink ice cream sticker. Immediately, I was interested. Who put this sticker up? Why did they put this sticker up? And would they continue decorating Central with stickers in the future?

As the year continued, I began to see more and more stickers pop up. I would bring the topic up to my friends, but none of them seemed to be as invested in these stickers as I was. The school year ended, and I put the stickers out of my mind. But when I returned to school this year, I saw more and more stickers around Central. Whoever was putting up these stickers wasn’t stopping. I was determined to get to the bottom of it. I talked to my friends again, and one of them mentioned that they might know the source of the stickers. I further reached out and received a name: Emily Loy.

Sophomore Emily Loy began to put up various stickers around the school last year. Her inspiration came from an interaction she’d had with her friend, Brianna Freeburg. Emily said, “I had this little sticker book where I could kind of like color my own stickers, and so I’d give stickers to her, and that would make her happy…” Emily went on to explain how after this, she began to give stickers to other friends to help improve their days. Eventually, she started to just “put them places.” As far as Emily has seen, she is the only one putting up stickers around the school. Her favorite stickers are coconut ones that are scented.

To conclude my interview with Emily, she gave me a pineapple sticker to put on my ID. I could now rest assured as I walked around the school knowing that I’d located the source of all of the stickers I was seeing. Below are all of the stickers I found around the school. Do you know of any others adorning Central’s walls? Keep your eyes peeled as you go about your day!
