LINK CREW FRESHMAN ACTIVITY
On Wednesday, November 6th, our CHS Link Crew planned a lunchtime activity to reconnect with the freshman class and have some fun! The freshmen were asked, “What would you do for an ice cream bar?” and were challenged to choose a fun activity to do with their Link leader to earn a treat. The freshmen, along with their Link Leaders, did things like give high fives to 5 people, give piggyback rides, or do the chicken dance. The freshmen enjoyed a sweet ice cream treat for their participation. Link Crew is made up of current juniors and seniors that run Freshman Orientation and welcome our new wolves to the pack!
