MS NIGHT CROSSING

Night Crossing

Friday, January 31, 2014 @ 7:30 p.m.

Night Crossing is one of Linfield's favorite MS traditions! It's a competitive game played under the cover of darkness all across Linfield's extensive property; the goal is for students to get from one end of the campus to the other without being caught by a teacher with a flashlight. Please click here for permission slips and additional information.

All Middle School & High School students are invited to attend one of ThoughtSTEM's programming camps this summer! No experience is required, and the camps will actually be held on Linfield's campus throughout the month of June. Click here for dates and additional information.
