Upper 7-8 Information
Last week eight CHCA freshmen spoke to our Grade 8 students to give practical advice and tips for being successful in ninth grade. They learned what will be the same and different next year, activities they can look forward to, how to manage homework, and were able to ask questions. We hope this will help our students be more confident and prepared for next year.
