What's a school without spirit?

During homecoming week many John I. Burton students began feeling especially energized with school spirit.  A few of the students collaborated and decided they wanted to have a student section for the homecoming football game against the Eastside Spartans.  The spirit section was organized by  Mazzy T., the sophomore Vice President, who claims she lost many hours of sleep in preparation for this event.


Although the spirit section had confetti and spirit bottles, many still feel the student section needs some improvement, as their noise level tapered off throughout the game.  They also needed more cheers and chants, as well as more participants. While the student section was not as effective as planned, the football players were tremendously thankful for the cheers provided throughout the game.  

While speaking with Mazzy T.,  she mentioned that she was a little disappointed with the number of people who participated.  She also mentioned that she wanted to continue having student sections and hopes to continue this through basketball season.

 Remember that on September 9th, the school will be taking a pep bus to the game against Honaker, but only if 25 people sign up to ride it. Sign up and come out to support your John I. Burton Raider football team!
