The one common worry is not knowing anyone.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here at Lenape, the goal is to make everyone comfortable. The new student body will attend an assembly to get to know other students. At the assembly, students will participate in different activities to get to know one another.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/7878b673-0eac-40db-a284-7b98ba7efae1\">\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students will be put into separate groups with the hope that they do not know the other people in their group. Each group will have five different activities to do in rotation. While in these groups students will learn things about each other. Certain activities will include working together to problem solve. The activities will be conducted by the students in Skills USA.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The getting to know each other activities include picking up colored candy to answer questions, and catching a ball to answer the question the student\u2019s thumb lands on. The rest of the activities are about teamwork. One of them is having students stand on a tarp and flip it without any student getting off. The other two are building a cup tower with limited resources and students must keep their ballon up while trying knock down the other group\u2019s ballon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-4-1024x512.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-4-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-4-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-4-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-4.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mr. Jasek<\/strong>, a Skills advisor, says \u201cwe\u2019re trying to get different people from different shops from different schools to meet each other to get to know each other.\u201d <strong>Keeley<\/strong> <strong>Furlong<\/strong>, a student in Allied Health and Skills USA, says \u201cSkills USA is basically student council. We\u2019re trying to get the student body to know everybody. So, someone from Freeport isn\u2019t going to know someone from Armstrong necessarily. We want everyone to break out of their shop class because your shop becomes your family. We want you to have friends outside of your shop family.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the assembly happens hopefully students will become friends with their other peers. Do not be scared to talk to someone new. There is always a chance to make new friends that can last a lifetime.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/G2KY3-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/G2KY3-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/G2KY3-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/G2KY3-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/G2KY3-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/G2KY3-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written By: Indigo Bowser&nbsp; As the new school year begins most new students coming to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1928,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1926"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1926\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1930,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1926\/revisions\/1930"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1928"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
