The Class of 2025 Comes Aboard at Orientation

The 230 members of the Class of 2025 came on board yesterday at their Orientation Day. Led by the 32 senior Peer Leaders, the new freshman class gathered in small groups, spending several hours beginning to learn the ropes for a successful first year at The Prep. High on the agenda of the Peer Leaders was raising the comfort level among their freshman charges, who came from more than 100 middle schools, large and small, spread among more than 70 towns, both near and far. Ice breaking games helped learn names quickly and smooth the way for easy conversation. Other important activities included logging on to the school network, checking out  class schedules and the best routes to the classrooms, getting school shirts and photos taken, and tackling the devilish task of dealing with a combination lock. As the frosh kicked off their day, their parents met in the auditorium for their own orientation, where they heard from members of the Prep administration about what lies ahead for both them and their sons.
