World Link 2015-2016
World Link co-chairs, Sarah Mohr & Beth Beeler, are excited to introduce this year's continent of interest, North America. With so many options, we look to highlight unique holidays from Mexico & Canada, the two largest North American countries outside the USA, as well as interesting facts from other North American nations. Look for fun World Link information on our bulletin board across from the Link, in the library, and throughout the school. Also listen for interesting information on North America in the morning announcements.
