There was an
explosion of red and white in the gym on October 7, 2014. It was the Pep Rally
for Island Trees Memorial Middle School. At the Pep Rally many fun events took
place. There were a bunch of red and white balloons, tiny “Number One!” fingers
and pompoms flying through the air.
The Pep Rally began
with the IT soccer team players names being announced and they got to run across the gym. Then, the
boy’s football team was announced. The football players got to show off their
skills by playing a quick 2 minute game.
Minutes later the
ice bucket challenge took place. Dr. Bloom and Mr. Burns participated. As they
sat in chairs about to get dumped with freezing cold water; the whole school
chanted two words, “Do it!” Dr. Bloom and Mr. Burns had to sit in kiddy pools
and they got a freezing cold bucket of water poured over their heads. The whole
school raised a total of four hundred dollars for the ice bucket challenge. All
together over 115 million Americans raised money for the A.L.S Ice Bucket
Challenge. The money Island Trees raised is going to research for A.L.S and is
going to be added to the A.L.S Ice Bucket Challenge Donations.
Most kids dressed in
red and white to show school spirit. The Pep Rally was so much fun and kids from
5th grade through 8th grade enjoyed it. The Pep Rally was a time to root for
our school and have some school spirit!
