1. Meet your future classmates and teachers to get a better sense of what Bravo high school is all about.

2. Earn 2.5 elective credits for your participation and completion of the Summer Bridge Program requirements. Daily attendance, project completion, and participation are requirements to earn credits.

3. Students will work on a group project and presentation about an issue related to stress. How does stress affect the brain and body?
