What is web?

WeAreWEBLeaders24.mov

WEB, which stands for "Where Everyone Belongs", is a nationally-based program that teams up incoming 6th graders with 8th grade mentors to help make the transition to middle school a little easier. Through games, activities, celebrations and more, WEB works towards building a stronger, more connected student body all year.

what kind of students are we looking for?

As the name states, WEB is for everyone. We are recruiting 7th-grade students who are interested in making a positive impact at Odyssey. We need students who want to help make the transition to middle school a little less intimidating. We are looking for students who are not afraid to be a little goofy, but most of all, we are looking for kindness. Does that sound like you? Join WEB!
