Link Crew teaches for a day
By Carlos Flores Martinez
Link Crew Academic Follow-Up was a day where Link Crew Leaders took over 22 ninth grade English classes. They held activities for the classes to help freshman deal with real-life social problems. Held on April 21, English classes were the main focus.
“We chose English because many of the same themes found in the literature are related to link crew academic activities,” Government teacher and Link Crew advisor Elizabeth DeWitt said.
They did activities that showed them how to handle problems. The link crew follow up was mainly organized by the two link crew coordinators, seniors Amanpreet Kaur and Linda Huang.
“I learned a lot of leadership skills and I am grateful to Ms. DeWitt for giving me this opportunity,” Kaur said.
English teacher Jeffery Speckels found it very effective.
Lots of hard work went into this event. According to DeWitt and the rest of Link Crew, the hardest aspect was trying to set a date and coordinate with teacher’s schedules.
