Link Crew has just the thing for you. It's the Freshmen Study Session, Thursday, December 12, after school, from 3:00 until 4:30 in the Commons. We will have teachers from Math, Science, English, Social Studies, and World Languages, along with lots of really smart Link Leaders all waiting to help you and answer your questions. Plus, we will have free pizza for all freshmen who come to study. We hope to see you there."
