Pep Rally

The Friday before our February break always includes an afternoon pep rally. This year was no exception. Because it was also Valentine's Day, we departed a bit from promoting the wearing of our school colors, and encouraged students and staff to wear pink, white or red. Our pep rallies are often linked to our curriculum in some way and are very activity-oriented. This pep rally began with some male teachers shaving their heads and/or facial hair as a fundraiser for the Special Olympics. Afterwards, students were involved in friendly team competitions such as a Stacked Hearts Relay or a Snowball Toss. Cheering for friends can be heard way down the hall. For those students who have issues with loud, noisy environments, the library is

open. Over the past few years, more and more students have opted to spend their time in the library rather than the pep rally. The problem is. . .after a short period of time, due to the increase in numbers of students, the library is no longer a quiet refuge from the noise. Hmmmm... need to work on that.
