Freshmen and pre-freshmen successfully completed their first Book Day on Wednesday, August 14, with the help of their junior and senior Big Brothers. The experienced Blue Jays guided their Little Brothers through the green and yellow stairwells and well-travelled hallways and rooms to turn in forms, take yearbook photos, and purchase up books for the 2013 – 2014 school year.
