On Monday, September 8,
the Student Council held a
fun and exciting pep rally.
It was held in the new
school auditorium. The
Student Council received
many compliments from
teachers and students
because the rally was so
well planned. During the
pep rally the football and
basketball teams were
announced. They were
preparing for tournament
games, and the entire
school wanted to wish
them good luck. The cheer-
leaders from the third to
eighth grades performed
some wonderful cheers for
the teams. When the rally
was over, the entire school
was treated to a night of
no homework.
