Freshman Friday? No...Freshmen Field Day!

On April 30th, Link Crew organized a Field Day for freshmens from all the acadamies. The event took place in the bowl, where there were activites and relays set up. This was the first year for link crew and first field day. The juniors and seniors, did not get to experience this event during thier fresmen year. "It was fun setting up activites for the freshmen," senior Shari Sherman reflects, "I wish we had a freshmen field day our year." Sophmores and upperclassmen were NOT allowed to attend the event. There were many activites set up for the freshmen such as: ultimate frisbee, face painting, chalk drawing, hula hoops and tug-of-war. "My favorite part was when the link crew leaders threw candy out in the stands!" Freshman, Paul Krekeler says. "I also liked how we had a lot of freedom, and got to socialize with each other." Many freshmen's enjoyed the event, but some didn't. "It was kind of boring," Freshman Hector Rodriguez explains, "It would haven been better if the whole school got to contribute."
Overall, the event was a success. It was a good way for freshmen to come together as one and get to interact with people they never talk to. Thanks to Ms. Andrews and Ms. Garrett for starting a new Franklin Tradition.
