On August 3rd, approximately 100 soon-to-be 9th graders attended The Lions' Den at Red Lion Area Senior High. The Lions' Den was developed 3 years ago by teachers and administrators who saw a need to provide incoming freshmen with a high school orientation experience. Each year The Lions' Den Committee strives to make the day relevant for the students who are coming to the high school for the first time. The day is packed from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm with a building scavenger hunt, team building activities, and informative sessions entitled, "High School 101". Sessions within "High School 101" include: the Freshman Experience, Freedom vs. Responsibility, Gym - The Basics, Getting Involved at RLASH, What Guidance can do for YOU, and Academic Survival. Students who attended The Lions' Den stated they felt more prepared for high school, but admit they will likely still get lost in such a big building. Rest assured, there will be many friendly students and helpful teachers to transition the 9th graders to Red Lion Area Senior High.
