On Friday November 11th, 2016, John I. Burton held a pep rally at 2:50 p.m. to thank the football players and band members for all their hard work this season. Band members and football players received treats and rewards presented by the cheerleaders. Members of the football team received special rewards which were representative of their personalities.Sophomore Austin L., received a candy bar called Whatchamacallit for being the most dazed and confused, and a Kit Kat bar for frequently asking for a break. Sophomore, Andrew C., received a candy bar called Mr. Goodbar because he had the most positive attitude. Freshman, Tyrell I., received a teddy bear for being the most friendly. The afforementioned football players are not the only ones who received rewards; each of players received a unique gift.
Burton is proud of its football players and band members. They have worked hard the entire football season. The students and teachers continue to cheer on their football team as they move into the playoffs and continue to support their band members as they prepare for the Sugar Bowl. Burton's Blog applauds your efforts!
