First Freshman and Big Sister Meeting
in the Gym
The first Big Sister – Little Sister Gathering is Wednesday morning in the gym. Senior Big Sisters will discuss the upcoming Club Rush days with their Little Sisters.

The primary purpose of this meeting is the Class Jersey Ceremony, where Big Sisters will present the freshman with their class jersey and give them tips to make their HOCO SZN (Homecoming) a time of joy, making new friends, and bonding with their class. The meeting will occur in the gym; students may eat lunch. If students are not at school that day, they can go to Campus Ministry and pick up their jerseys the following Monday.
