Welcome Back, Raiders
by: Cheyenne Alexander
Sunny, sunny day - wasn't it, rowdy Raiders? It was full of cheers, laughter and hundreds of smiling Raiders. Our ASB introduced the band and color guard for the first time this year to perform. In addition to our awesome band, we also had Fernando Parra- Chong's band perform and our own Mariachi. Not to mention our ASB activities that introduced the new AP's and promoted school unity. To say the least, it was a great assembly, even though it was outdoors on hot day.
Sitting in the blistering hot sun may not seem like your idea of a good time, but while this assembly was outside, it gave the school a chance to have a sense of unity and school spirit. Because it was held outside, we only needed to have one assembly to fit everyone in. This was kind of a big deal because the rest of our assemblies will be held in the gym and separated into two different assemblies. While sitting in the stadium, the ASB put together two activities, because who wouldn't want to run around in the hot sun.
The first of two activites was the relay race, consisting of a three-legged race at the end. The second activity was to introduce our new assistant principals, Dr.Salcedo and Ms.Finely. We played "Where's Waldo" but instead of Waldo it was our principals. At first the player couldn't find them, but with the help of some friends it became obvious where they were. To keep the momentum up, Fernando Parra-Chong's band played and got us Raiders even more excited. As in all assemblies we ended with our Alma-Mater and Spirit Yell. Remember Raiders, 40 more days until Fall Break and our first home Football game and Progress Reports on Friday the 2nd of September.
