First day fun
August 16, 2017
August 16 was the first day for new students, freshmen, and seniors. They enjoyed participating in various team building exercises.
COMPETE. Two freshmen and two juniors compete in a push-up competition. After the seniors’ assembly, the senior and freshmen classes competed in a series of games. The games were a way of bonding for the classes.
EXCITEMENT. Freshmen wander the Commons, exploring different options for classes, clubs, and sports. Seniors, who were required to come in, promoted their activities. Freshmen came in one day before the rest of the high school to become acclimatized to SHS and to build relationships with upperclassmen.
![THAT’S SO FETCH. “Mean Girls,” a popular film directed by Mark Waters features a new student, Cady Heron, who is bullied by the popular students. During the movie, she undergoes friendship and bullying problems. But, by the end of the movie, she solves her problems and makes peace with the bullies. “Almost everyone has watched [“Mean Girls”] once, if not a couple times. It is just a go-to when you’re with your girls,” said Debasmita Kanungo, 11.](https://shsleaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/weissblogmeangirlsphoto-300x424.jpg)
