Description:	A STRONG & FROSH STARTSUMMERXFreshmen started this year with an advantage: with a lot of the schoolsconstruction happening during the summer, Edgewoods Mustang Mentors and newfreshmen got a sneak peek of the new changes. This year it was really interestingbecause the freshmen ended up knowing more about the building than thereturning sophomores, juniors, and seniors, Mustang Mentors sponsorand science teacher Miss Dye said. They all came and knewexactly where they were going. With a brand new school tof explore, freshmen were able to interact with upperclassmenand also check out the schools new features. My favoritepart of the kickoff had to be meeting the upperclassmen andjust exploring the building, freshman Alex Orlowski said.Edgewoods Mustang Mentors seemed excited to help freshmenhave a great first year in high school.When I was a freshman, I was terrified of coming into highschool and the freshmen kickoff really helped me understand whatwas going on and find my way around the school, junior mentor BethNethery said. The incoming freshmen class also seemed to get alongwell with veteran mentors. They socialized with us really well, pastfreshmen classes dont talk as much to the upperclassmen and this yearsclass was cool because they interacted with us and asked questions,Nethery said. It was really great.WJMMT: - mEHS squared off against North Putnam in the Big Kickoff classic. Even though the Mustangs lost, allthe boys agreed that it was a great experience.
