COCOA & CRAM
On Thursday, January 9th from 6 – 8pm, Advisory Leaders and the National Honor Society will co-host the annual Cocoa & Cram event. Cocoa & Cram is a great opportunity for ninth graders to get midterm study help from upperclassmen. There will be general organizational help as well as subject specific assistance. Additionally, cocoa and snacks will be provided. Ninth graders should bring their notes, study guides, questions, and books. Students should enter through the library entrance and check in in A206 (English/History Learning Connections). We encourage all ninth graders to attend. It’s sure to be a productive evening
