Pepping up the pep rally

This Friday, October 17, our school will be having a pep rally for the Raiders' game against the Clintwood Greenwaves. This is one of the last pep rallies we will be having during the rest of the football season. The pep rally will be in the gym at the end of the school day. I would like to encourage the whole school to participate and be really loud during this pep rally.

The pep rally will be started by the Raider football team entering with the fight song being played by our Raider marching band. Our cheerleaders will be doing the "Varsity Stomp." The cheerleaders will also be performing another cheer called, "Wish you were a Raider," and then they will be dancing to the song, "Pause'' by Pitbull. Next, students from every grade level will be playing three games: "Who are you Rootin' for," ''Gummy Worms," and "The Cheetos Game." The game "Who are you Rootin' for" consists of a baby bottle filled with Root Beer; each grade will have a participant racing each other to empty the baby bottle. The next game will be ''Gummy Worms." This is a game where gummy worms are hidden in a pie and students have to find them. This activity is a race between grades. The last game is ''The Cheetos Game."  In this game a partner paints another participant's face and throws Cheetos on their face.

After all the games, there will be an announcement about Celebrate My Drive. Next, the cheerleaders will be giving snack bags to all the football players. The cheerleaders will be dancing to 80's music, doing chants, and throwing t-shirts to the students. I encourage everybody to come and see the Raiders play the Greenwaves for the last time in both schools' histories.
