Linking 9th Graders: Here's What We Do

Link Crew students are challenged to come up with ideas, and then they as a group plan, develop and execute their ideas. We have asked to try and figure out what the freshmen need and how best to serve their needs. For example, a Link Leader thought that freshmen needed relationship information. As a result, Link Crew went into advisory classes for Healthy Relationships Week and led each class in a program highlighting what positive relationships look like in various settings.

Linking 9th graders to Success

The San Lorenzo High School Rebel XD Link Crew program is built upon the idea of a community helping its newest members to learn the ins and outs of high school in order to be socially, personally, and academically successful.  The SLz Link Crew program trains 11th and 12th grade students on how to assist and support 9th graders in the transition from middle to high school. 

Link Crew is a freshman transition program, leadership training program, and a school community-building program. Our purpose is to empower junior and seniors as role models for freshmen, to increase academic success through supportive peers, to develop leadership skills in students on campus and help create a supportive atmosphere on campus.

The leadership building class meets Monday and Wednesday from 3:30 – 4:30. Additional work days will be added as needed to complete preparation for events. In coordination with our leadership building goal, our Link Leaders will be actively involved in visiting freshman advisory classes on a weekly basis. While these activities happen during the school day, the preparation for advisory occurs after school.

This program is led by Marcela Barajas and Tanny Hoffmann. Please contact them if you have questions.

Our Mission

Link Crew is an organization that uses teamwork, communication and leadership skills to positively influence 9th graders. Our goals are: to become informed about what freshman need, help them realize that they have options so that they can learn to take pride in themselves and their abilities, influence 9th graders to respect themselves, think for themselves and respect others, and to help 9th graders to become comfortable making new friends and trying new things. We want freshmen to be well informed, have confidence in themselves and us, and to have a positive and memorable year.
