Do you remember the pep-rallies from sixth grade? Remember how we sixth graders could not wait until seventh grade to sit on the bleachers instead of the gym floor? Back in 2013, Larkspur Middle School got rid of pep-rallies since it was a safety hazard to have too many people in the gym at the same time. Instead, they replaced pep-rallies with spirit parades, so teams parade around the school for about fifteen minutes and basically back up the whole school day. I think the best way to bring school spirit back at Larkspur is to get rid of spirit parades, bring pep-rallies back, and hold them outside. First of all, spirit parades take too long and the hallway gets crowded quickly. When all the classes were lined up along the lockers, it always got hot so fast. We had to stand up for about fifteen minutes while being squished together. For example, it took a while for it to start, and it only lasted for about five minutes. Spirit parades effected teachers, too. These parades cut into valuable class time. Plus, teachers had to wait for their students who were in the parade to come back. Spirit parades were probably worst for elective teachers and eight grade students and teachers. First elective classes like academic support, …show more content…
The main reason why Larkspur had to get rid of pep-rallies was because the gym was too packed. There were not enough seats in the gym, so sixth graders had to sit on the floor, while seventh and eighth graders had to sit on the bleachers. The crowdedness of the gym really had an effect on the departure of leaving the gym. All the classes had to leave one-by-one through the maze of all the students. This led to the fire department safety rule of only having a certain number or people in one place at one time since it is a fire hazard. If a fire were to occur in the gym, then there would only be about seven exits. These exits would not be easy to access since the pep-rallies were only on one side of the
Seventeen year old, Edward Pierce Jr. and best friends, Bobbi Brown and James Farley are nearly done with their last year of school at Pioneer Lake High School. One week before graduation and their descent into the real world, tragedy strikes. James has committed suicide, leaving Edward and Bobbi to pick up the pieces. Could they have prevented their best friend’s death? Are they to blame? Can they handle the loss of a loved one without breaking in half?
People didn't like that . The law allowed students to absent themselves from this activity if they found it objectionable. Whether school-sponsored
Tormented by the dry Texas sun, and the poor soil, the plant life in Eagle Pass High school has no chance. Everywhere you look there is dead grass and dead trees. However, in the middle of a field filled with the dead behemoths of trees, there stood a small struggling sapling.
Lanie SalmonThere are many school activities that students enjoy however a lot of students, boys and girls pick cheer. Cheer has been around for a while now, and a lot of students try out every year. Students enjoy cheer because of the competitions, the games, and meeting new people.At competitions students can compete against one team or they can compete against ten teams. In competitions students perform whatever cheers or dances the team prepared. Usually before the competitions the coach or coaches will give the team a speech to help calm the nerves. One of the down factors about competitions is when the team loses then everyone on the team will start blaming the people who messed up for the loss of the team. One of the good factors
Do you think Conroe high school should change there rules. I think conroe should change the hat rule to be able to where it in school.
At a pep rally it should be the entire school not separate grades sitting together. As a whole school it shows more
When people hear the word “cheer leading” they tend to think of a group of pretty girls frolicking around being peppy in short skirts and pom-poms while being optimistically spontaneous and enthusiastic without having to put in any effort toward a physical and mental state that challenges one’s ability. It never comes to mind, to question whether the fact competitive cheer leading is a sport. Being peppy is the common stereotypical outlook that has been put on cheer leaders. It can be seen as
Cheering, that's all you hear walking down the Manchester Hallways on Friday aAfternoon,October 7. When you walk into the gym you can see everyone divided into their classes Sseniors wore black, Jjuniors wore red, Ffreshmen and Ssophomores wore white. The mascot was doing his job getting everyone pumped up and ready for the events that were coming. The first to come out onto the floor were the cheerleaders they did a great job no one was dropped or hurt in the process of all there stunts. The cheerleaders did a cheer were they shouted out each class and who ever made the most noise won the competition., Tthe Ssophomores won. After the competition Justin Brown started calling the names of the athletes starting with the volleyball girls, then
To begin with, homecoming could be fun for new students and former students. In homecoming week they do something called spirit week. In spirit they allow you to dress up and show your school spirit. They have a homecoming football game which is so fun because you have people coming out to support your school. They also all teachers to show their spirit and dress up. They have students running for homecoming king and queen, which is competitive to see who will take over the crown. A lot of people run, but some lose. It is still fun to run because at least they tried. If they take homecoming away it would be boring to students because there’s not going to be a football game to attend. The football game is mostly where the fun is. Homecoming could never get old so it’s going to be impossible to take that away from ICN high school. Our school is one of the best in the city and everyone love to our football games. Homecoming is where all the fun is at in our school.
School cheerleaders aim to perform not to compete with other teams. Cheerleaders perform once a year in the middle of winter, if they were to perform more then they wouldn't have enough time to cheer at games. Cheerleaders are there to rally on a sports team or the crowd that attends the game. Judges had agreed that cheer isn't a sport after what had happened at Quinnipiac University. Some cheerleaders had said that cheer isn't a sport. Like Alyssa (the cheerleader that was brought up earlier) says, “College cheerleading was as physically demanding and mentally challenging as any activity in which I've participated. It afforded me the opportunity to travel the country, paid for much of my schooling and challenged me athletically on a daily basis. But cheerleading is not a sport.” Even a cheerleader that's probably been cheering her whole life had stated that it isn't a sport, but rather an activity. School (whether that be high-school or college) cheerleading is not a sport but STUNT cheer is, this is simply because there is competitiveness. Like stated in the first paragraph, the dictionary defines the word, “sport,” as having competitiveness, school cheer fails to exploit and show
“Cheerleading is not an extracurricular activity. It is a sport, a sport of academic discipline.” Crowds have been cheering since the begininning of sports, however it wasn’t until the late 1800s that organized cheering was introduced. A man named Mark Peebles brought cheerleading with him to the University of Minnesota and started to create a specific set of cheers for different times during the games. Another student however, named Johnny Campbell, decided to take cheering to a whole new level by organizing a team to lead the crowd during the games. From November 2, 1898 to today Campbell is known as the world’s first cheerleader. Cheerleading has been and should be today known as a sport because it has evolved to become more athletic, competitive and dangerous as any other sport. Seeing cheerleading as a sport will give these athletes the respect and aknowledgment of their accomplishments and achievements, get the safety standards deserved, and “recognition that a traditional female activity can also be a sport (Gonzalez).”
We get the tech day, bowling, and an inappropriate magician. The tech day is cool but not when the school blocks everything that is interesting. Such as snapchat, instagram, musically, and many social media apps. Bowling is fun for some people but, not for all of us! We just go so we can get out of school. The magician is not impressive to most of us, we thought they were cool when we were younger but now most of us find them boring. What would motivate us, trips to sky zone! Most middle schoolers are extremely impatient, at skyzone people won’t get bored. They will just be extremely tired when they leave! Sky Zone isn’t very safe for people with no common sense, and people will have to sign a waiver saying that they won’t sue them if they get hurt. Pizza parties would motivate us too, if you get the right pizzas! We all for the most part LOVE PIZZA! The last thing that would
So, on the way to the first game in Higgins on Friday, Aug. 26, the cheerleaders welcomed all available high school
There is at least one student at an Anaheim school right now that just doesn't have anything to look forward to, they come to school just to come to school, and has no idea what their future will look like. To fix this problem in Anaheim schools we must ask students what they like, what they do for fun, what they do when they have nothing else to do, and if it benefits in an educational way then programs should be implemented to help those students. By implementing something as simple as a dance program it
If I could speak for the student body as a whole, I would say Piqua High School gives us limited activities to look forward to. Yes, we have the typical things like homecoming, prom, and sporting events, but those are all outside of the designated school hours. Us kids work so hard, I think we should get rewarded sometimes. I remember my freshman year at PHS we did so many fun activities. To name only a few, we had a huge dodgeball tournament with activities such as teachers getting pied in the face and obstacle courses. Also, we did a Walk-a-Thon where we payed a dollar to get out of each period. After paying, we got to go out to the track and play unlimited amount of games and have time with our friends. Sadly, that
