Our high school students brought the energy during yesterday’s testing pep rally! From tug-of-war and musical chairs to a fun focus-driven left-right game, students and staff came together for an afternoon full of laughter, teamwork, and school spirit. As assessment season begins, we wanted to remind our students to stay confident, focused, and give their very best effort. We also gave away testing t-shirts and goodie bags to keep our students motivated during testing.
