Pep Rally

By: Katie Stirling

During the school year, we have many pep rallies. These are held for different occasions. Whether it’s homecoming, Veteran’s Day, a holiday, or a special occasion, many different things happen throughout the school year.

We recently had a pep rally for the winter sports. This was held on February 10th. Everyone got together in the gym during tribe time. We recognized those who dedicate their time to a certain sport during the winter season. These sports included wrestling, girls’ basketball, and boys’ basketball.

The publications class is in charge of these pep rallies. We had a fun introduction and threw out glow sticks to the students. The cheerleaders then did a cheer to involve the crowd a little bit. We moved to wrestling after this.

The wrestlers came down and were introduced. Cole told a little about their season and their upcoming dates. After this, they had a competition and split into teams. Each person had to spin and make a layup at the opposite hoop. They then showed the hype video made by publication students. We moved on to girls’ basketball.

The team was introduced by Chloe and Emma. They talked about our season so far and our upcoming dates. We showed our hype video after this and moved on to the boys’ team.

They were introduced by Cooper and he talked a little about how the season is going. They also had a hype video.

After this was done, the boys and girls basketball teams came down to play a game. They had to be the fastest to pop balloons with each others’ help in order to win.

These pep rallies help students stay involved in our extracurricular activities. We let them know what goes on in our seasons and dates of events in the future.
