Athletics Feather: It’s a competitive world out there. Students compete in the classroom for the top spot. Student-athletes show their competitive side on the court or field, wanting to get the win for their team. Pressure to perform - academically, athletically, and otherwise - can be stressful. The good news? Plugging into an extracurricular activity such as a sport can be a great outlet and teach important life skills along the way.
It doesn't just apply to the athletes. Attending events while a student in school is just as important. You can be a part of your Community and show your School Spirit and here is why it's important:
School pride: Cheering for a school team brings students together and creates a shared identity.
Belonging: Large gatherings help isolated students feel connected to the wider campus culture.
Support networks: Cheering side-by-side encourages friendships across different grades and social groups.
Friday is the deadline to register for the October 17 ACT. If you need help registering or would like to request a testing voucher, please see Mrs. Cope or your guidance counselor.
