Pep Rally opened in the middle of the seventh period with freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors taking their sits in the gymnasium. The band proceeded to play to open the Pep Rally. 

Then the National Anthem was sung by the choir, followed by our school Alma Mater played by the band.

Our mascot, the West Hempstead Ram,  entered the gymnasium and took a quick run around. The boys junior and varsity soccer teams arrived, followed by the girls' varsity soccer team. 

After a short performance by the band again, the girls' tennis and swimming teams, as well as the cross country team, came in. The girls junior and varsity volleyball teams were introduced. The boys junior and varsity volleyball teams entered. Then the boys junior and varsity football teams came storming last into the gym. It was fun to see the way each team entered the gym, with various cheers, chants, and dances.

A Sophomore Look at Homecoming

By Omosefe Ikpia

This year’s homecoming started off near the Chestnut Street School. We marched from there back to the school to watch a game between our Girls' soccer team and Friends Academy.

In addition to the game, Homecoming also had many other features like the Stuff the Bus project in which we donate anything helpful to support those affected by the hurricane, there was also many stations of little games, face painting and a bouncy house for the kids, included in the parade was our banner where we think of something creative to go along with our sophomore theme for the year.
