The month of March caused some spring fever at Jonathan Law.

A pep rally was held on March 4 in the school’s gymnasium to kick off a season of warmer weather. Law has had many pep rallies in the past that celebrated the school’s sports teams, but this one was held for a different reason.

Principal Mr. Thompson described this year’s pep rally as a way to kick off spring and a way to get rid of those “winter blues.”

“This event helped us remember Law is a great place,” Thompson said. “We had a lot of fun and celebrated everything good about our school not just the sports.”

To go along with this school event, the different grades participated in a color war and a black and gold day throughout the week. Whichever class had the most school spirit would gain points to try and win an ice cream party.

At this pep rally, there were a handful of contest and activities to keep the students in good spirits.

There was a dance-off as well as a “chubby bunny” contest which seemed to excite the crowd.

“The chubby bunny contest was great,” junior Angela Sciuto said. “I helped my class gain more points toward the ice cream party.”

Another member here at Law enjoyed this contest as well. Even faculty engaged in these humorous activities.

“This contest was a lot of fun and interactive,” math teacher Mr. Ruzbarsky said.

The activity that appeared to have the sea of students on their feet was the dance-off.

Both the student body and faculty members were amazed and cheered excitedly.

“The dance-off was my favorite part of the pep rally,” Thompson said. “(Senior) Joe Corey was awesome.”

The students also put together a cheer competition.  Each grade had their own cheer they had to say at the pep rally.

“My favorite part was the cheers,” junior Maddie Murphy said. “Everyone got involved and definitely improved our school spirit.”

The reason this pep rally was such a success is because of the school spirit all grades had. The whole week was filled with positive energy from the students and faculty.

“This pep rally was one of the best ones we’ve had here at Law,” senior Kailee Frank said. “The students were really hyped for it.”

The unique experience was especially exciting for the freshmen class because of their newness to the school.

“The pep rally was a lot of fun and exciting,” freshman Pam Ellison said. “ I really liked the cheer competition between grades.”

The staff here at Law also participated in the event to raise everyone’s school spirit.

“The staff did great and we all did a good job getting the students excited for this event,” special education teacher Mr. Rhode said. “I loved seeing the teachers in black and gold.”
