After school on January 18, students from all grades at Kennedy crammed in the school cafeteria (not in the sense they crammed’ together like sardines but real-time cramming for finals.)    Link Crew sponsored the event and helped students prepare for their first semester tests by plying them with hot cocoa.   All photos by Saeri Plagmann, Clarion Features Editor except where noted.
