The Class of 2029 has begun its transition from middle school into high school.

A group of incoming freshmen came to Law on February 25 to learn about the many different electives that are offered. After a presentation in the auditorium, students moved to the Old Gym where they visited booths for Food Service, Wood Tech, Choir, Journalism, Robotics, and many more.

The Food Service tent was one of the most popular. Students in the class gave out free samples of freshly-made pancakes and of several desserts that are made in the class.

“The simple pleasures of life such as food are an easy road to happiness and satisfaction,” senior Lucas Brotherton said. “And through us, they discovered they could build their high school career while also enjoying it.”

Law’s Journalism and Broadcast Journalism classes showed off articles they have written, FOX 61 Student News videos they created, and episode of the Morning Briefing.

Junior Advocate Editor-in-Chief Kayla Markowitz was excited to introduce incoming freshmen about Law’s Journalism program.

“Our goal was to reach out to incoming freshmen and show them what the Advocate has to offer,” Markowitz said. “I wanted to help recruit incoming students because I know how hard it is to get involved when starting something new and it always helps to have upperclassmen encourage you.”

Senior Nate Pacelli was part of the Wood Shop and Engineering table to showcase the opportunities students could have to learn in a different type of class environment.

“Having had the opportunity to take a Woodworking class and explain it to incoming freshmen was very fun,” Pacelli said. “It is a class that is very different from any other classes within the school. It is a very hands-on experience getting to use all different types of tools like saws, nails, and screws. You can learn all types of things from these classes, as well as an opportunity to see if it is a type of field you would want to pursue in the future.”
