Although the 2008-09 school year will officially begin for District 88 High School students Wednesday, Aug. 27, plans have been organized to welcome and orientate the incoming freshman class in advance.

Willowbrook High School will host the ninth annual Freshman Fling on Monday, Aug. 25 for the approximately 525 incoming students in the Class of 2012. This orientation event is designed for students to meet new classmates and become acclimated to the high school before the first day of classes.

Activities for the evening are scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. and will include an ice cream social, games, prize giveaways and a disc jockey.

Students must present their school I.D. card in order to participate.
