From Fridley Public Schools:

February 13, 2020

Fridley Middle School 8th grade students were excited to explore Fridley High School on February 6, 2020 through a mentorship opportunity hosted by the high school’s fantastic Link Crew Leaders!

The Link Crew is a mentorship program made up of juniors and seniors who facilitate group activities and discussions for 9th grade students throughout the entire school year. They also host Orientation Day for freshmen when students return to school in the fall. As a tight-knit school community, Link Crew Leaders are mentors and friends to underclassmen. They help ease the middle-school-to-high-school transition by connecting students to clubs, organizations, and sports; introducing them to staff members or elective opportunities; offering words of advice; and being a familiar friend that students can connect with during their first year in high school.

Following the presentation, a question and answer session, and tour of the high school, all students enjoyed a dance party on the district auditorium stage!
