Above, students collaborate together in their advisory group. Advisory group leaders have decided that advisory groups will meet during lunch every Tuesday and Thursday. On these days, lunch block classes will not meet, and students will get to know each other better by sharing secrets and personal information about themselves. “How can they do this to us? I will do anything to not go to these lunches,” said freshman Joshua Lee.
