Middle School Pep Rally

Last week, Alex’s school cheered on the football team as well as all the teams that are active this fall. I took the afternoon off to attend and at first was glad that it was being held outside, but then the temps rose to over 80°. This did not make me to happy standing out there for over an hour with sun blaring in my face. However, I did manage to make it through the whole thing and got lots of pics and video to share with you.

I was glad I got there early, so I could stand in front of the band and take pics of Alex and the band. Each grade is broken down into 4 classroom teams all of which have a different cat name (Lions, Jaguars, Pumas, Cheetahs, etc.) Everyone showed their team spirit by wearing their team shirt so that’s why you see a myriad of colors. They also paint their faces in different ways depending on what team they are on.

I mean really. How cute is that face! Paint or no paint.

Here’s Mr. C who’s a friend of Alex

Since the middle school doesn’t have cheerleaders, the high school cheerleaders as well as the mascot came to rally them on.

The teachers competed in a 6th vs 7th grade lip syncing/dancing contest.

6th grade

Go 7th grade!!

As soon as I can my newly updated iMovie to work, I’ll compile a video of pieces of the pep rally.

Here’s a flashback to when Drew was in 6th Grade at his first DMS Peprally!
