Pep Rally preview

SCHOOL SPIRIT: Upper School, Middle School, and Lower School will gather together for an epic series of events in the CAC Game Gym on Feb. 27 A dance off, basketball game and mattress surfing are all things that will be witnessed by the lucky Raiders who attend. Pep rallies date all the way back to the early 20th century, which were started to encourage school spirit and show support for athletic teams. 
“ I love the Pep Rallies at North Cross School,” Susan. Wenk, the SCA advisor, says, “because the lower, middle, and upper school are all together, cheering for each other whether it's a dance competition or a basketball game. It's the spirit that encompasses our entire school.” 
Upper School students were given the opportunity to participate in a themed dance off. The freshmen have chosen Scooby-Doo as their theme, with aliens, a car chase, and a mystery machine costume. “I think the freshmen have the best dance,” Kemper Prilliaman ‘28 said boldly.
The sophomores are ready to compete with their Trolls dance; they have the characters and striking choreography. 
“The SCA and many others have put in a lot of work,” Thomas Frieben said, “and I am looking forward to it.” 
"I think the dance looks great,” Anabelle Coles ‘27 said. Shout-out to Finley Dalton ‘27 and Dara Kerman ‘27, my fellow choreographers.”
Some say the juniors are overlooked but others think their minions theme is perfect to get the crowd riled up.
