The pep rally was held on September 25 at 2:30 p.m. in the school gym.
Susan Sudtelgte organized numerous activities for the students to participate in throughout the pep rally. Some volunteers from the high school acted as cheerleaders during the event.
Students competed in a balloon race. Each class lined up with balloons in between them trying to make it to the finish line first. If any of the students lost the balloon anywhere before the finish line, the class had to start over. (Above and below).
The whole pep rally crowd, not just the students took a moment to do the YMCA. Other songs they participated in were the Chicken Dance and class yells.
