New freshmen entering BRVGS this fall spent a day meeting each other and getting a taste of the Blue Ridge field trip for facetime meeting with peers.
About 130 out of the incoming class of 145 students attended BRVGS Freshman Orientation on Wednesday, July 24 at Best Western in Zion Crossroads.
Events of the day included introductions to faculty, staff, and other 9th-graders from seven counties. Students were apprised of expectations and policies, had official BRVGS photos taken, learned about career planning, and engaged in cooperative problem-solving/creative thinking activities in which they interacted with their peers. Of course, they were treated to the famous Blue Ridge Pizza Lunch amidst all the hustle and bustle of the day's agenda.
The new students will be tackling summer work at home for their World History classes, which officially begin when high school fall sessions start. Summer work can be accessed by going to goo.gl/rscay. The entire BRVGS freshman class will convene again once the school year commences for all districts.
