Loud cheering, jumping up and down, all dressed up in the craziest outfits. Celebrating the upcoming sports for the fall seasons couldn’t get more fun than the annual pep rally. But why don’t we have this celebration every sports season?

The pep rally is a way for athletes to be recognized in the school, but it’s also a way to bring sports teams closer together. In the fall, teams prepare for this exciting event, but if there was a pep rally for winter and spring sports, those teams would get a chance to show their spirit as well.

Also, this experience would only take one period in the day, which would allow us to do an alternate bell schedule, which happens on late start days once every three weeks. In all, this wouldn’t take very long, but would have a great impact on the study body, and the attitude towards athletics at CHS.

This would give students something fun to look forward to participating in for each season. This would also enable the athletes from the winter and spring teams to be recognized, and do something fun with their team.

At almost all times throughout the school year, classes are separate and rarely mix. The pep rally is one of the times that all grades are together, which unites the entire school.

It is very clear that the students display school spirit during the pep rally. This spirit continues on in each sports team, and allows students to display their love of Clayton
