Advisory Kickoff Day Announced

 

Advisory Kickoff Day 2012

On Thursday, September 20th, Hull High School will hold its third annual Advisory Kickoff Day.  The HHS advisory program is in its seventh year of existence.  It is a program, which was created to ensure that each student at Hull High School has at least one adult mentor who they have the opportunity to build a strong relationship with. 

The advisories are formed on our students' first day at HHS and they only dissolve on their final day of classes during their senior year.  Each week throughout the year our advisories meet on Wednesdays. They move through an advisory curriculum, which is based on our schools core values.  The activities vary from week to week, but all focus on the academic and social well being of our students.

For the third year in a row we will "kick off" our advisory program with a very special day for our students.  On Advisory Kickoff Day, each grade level has a very specific focus for their day's activities.

Freshmen:  The freshmen class will stay in the school and work with Mr. Devine on a number of team building and leadership activities.  They will get to spend quality time with their advisors and will reflect upon their first weeks at HHS.

Sophomores:  The sophomore class will use the day to give back to a community, which has given so much to them.  The groups were split up amongst different service projects around town.  These projects will include, work at the Camp at Sunset Point and Hull's Senior Housing.  The student's will get a chance to work together, get a little dirty, and lend a helping hand within the community.

Juniors:  The junior class will venture into Boston via boat and take official tours of seven local colleges and universities.  These schools included Boston University, Northeastern, Suffolk, Emerson, Emmanuel, Wentworth Institute of Technology, and UMASS Boston.

Seniors:  The senior class will also venture to Boston on Thursday the 20th, but instead of visiting colleges and universities, they will hit some of Boston's best cultural and historical sights.  These sights will include The Freedom Trail, Harvard Square, Fenway Park, The Museum of Science. The Museum of Fine Art, The State House, and the New England Aquarium.

More information will be coming home with students next week.  This will include permission slips and the cost of the trips into Boston.
