## Helping out the Community with Hall

Every year link crew and supervisors organize an introduction to give the freshmen students a taste of being a student at Hall. For the past few years Link Crew, supervisors and of course the grade 9s have had their retreat at Teen Ranch where students get to participate in fun activities such as horse back riding. Students end off the night with a bonfire where link leaders and the first years get to tell ghost stories and show case their talents.
