Spring Pep Rally

The 2007 Spring Pep Rally was held on Tuesday. We have a “PM Schedule” that we follow, with slightly shortened periods so that we can fit the pep rally into the end of the day. It started at 1:00. All the Spring Sports walk through the blue and white doors and balloon archway, with the rest of the school roaring and cheering for them. The players must feel really great, with the whole school’s attention on them. After all the teams walk across the gym, the National Anthem is sung. After that, fun activities are underway. Students and teachers sign up to play different activities, like mini-golf put-put, and class vs. class tug of war. It’s fun to watch the teachers play games and things. The whole school gets really into it. The four different classes chant their class year, to see who has the most school spirit. In between games, the cheerleaders, step squad, and dance club perform. For some reason, I was really nervous for dance club this time. But we ended up doing a great job, and we got a lot of compliments after. I love pep rallies! I think they really sum up what UC is all about – coming together as a school (students, teachers, sports teams, clubs) and showing our Viking pride!
