Bishop Feehan Welcomes Freshmen at Academic Academy

Submitted by Bishop Feehan High School:

Almost 200 incoming Bishop Feehan High School freshmen are choosing to participate in one of two week-long sessions, currently in progress, designed to ready students for the transition to the school.

Students who attend have opportunities to learn the ropes of their new campus, brush up on math, technology and writing skills, and learn essential “survival” skills like how to study and take notes, set goals, stay organized and stay motivated.

Students socialize during group activities and learn about the history and traditions of Bishop Feehan. Students also take part in their first of many service projects at Feehan by collecting and putting together bags of school supplies to donate to the St. Vincent de Paul store in Attleboro.

“The Summer Academic Academy has been a great success each year. Whether the kids realize it or not, it gives them the confidence to start the year off on the right foot and helps to eliminate the first-day-of-school jitters,” commented Ann Perry, Vice President of Academic Affairs.
