Broad Run High School held its fourth annual EXPO Day to encourage future students to participate in activities, athletics and other programs. Although Broad Run holds regular orientation sessions to prepare incoming students for course scheduling, EXPO Day has a slightly different focus. In order to encourage school involvement, the event allows eighth-graders to listen to coaches and club sponsors and to watch student demonstrations of activities they will be able to join.
High school is more than being involved in classes.
On March 13 th , Broad Run students greeted the Farmwell students and steered them toward auditorium and gymnasium demonstrations. The eighth-graders watched presentations by every athletic team, band, chorus, drama club, dance team, step team, newspaper, yearbook, SCA, freshman class, color guard, National Honor Society and the debate team. Wrestlers invited audience participation, the jazz ensemble performed, thespians turned loose their dramatic sides and cheerleaders performed rousing routines. After learning about Broad Run's extracurricular offerings, Farmwell Station students brought home informative booklets describing available activities. They come over with their whole class, teachers and deans for half a day.
