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.

I know [this] year we’ll come back improved and ready to win!” said Ogunbodede.](https://shsleaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/IMG_4121-300x205.jpg)
