Its so confusing out there, but I was finally ableto find it all, Thummel said.The Mustang Kick-Off helped incoming freshmenease their way into the new year by allowing them thechance to see where their classrooms would be. Theyalso got the chance to meet some of their new teachersand interact with upperclassmen.Senior Emily Maegerline, who was one of thementors at the event, shared her own experience as afreshman. I remember being really scared,Maegerline said. I think going to the kick-off reallyhelped because it was good to come in and see whereall your classes are and stuff so that youre notnervous.Sponsor and science teacher Mrs. Dye said the Kick-Off opens a community for new students.One of the things we always do at the kick-off isJunior Jasmine Carter, junior Hannah Koontz and senior AustinTristlerinvite new students that will be here so they have a chance toget to know more people, Mrs. Dye said.
