Advisory Spotlight

Throughout November, Advisory placed an emphasis on completing ICAP Requirements, including having our first competition based on the amount of completed tasks from the first 9 weeks. We competed in our Closest to the Wall challenge on Fun Fridays and participated in the canned food drive for the YHS Food Pantry. In December, Advisory will crown its 2nd 9-week champion and participate in the Toy Drive!
