The purpose of a pep assembly is to get the whole student body showing their school spirit and acknowledging the hard work we have accomplished in extra circular activities. Kennedy High School has three pep assemblies throughout the year for each trimester.
At everyone, we acknowledge the students who are involved in those seasons’ sports whether it is fall, spring, winter or summer sports. They go down in a huddle as Mr. Stucker announces their accomplishments and goals for the season.
In order to get our school spirit up we have competitions between the four grades and who every wins the most point is awarded with the “spirit stick”. The first competition is always the same with who can come up with the best cheer but then they also differ from assembly. They say things like “the person with the most jewelry on” or “the person with the most colorful socks on”. Then one student who thinks they meet these circumstances goes down to the gym and three judges (teachers) vote on what grade represents the idea best. Most of these competitions are fare but some (especially in the spring time) are geared to seniors so they can win. Overall though, people get into these competitions as they cheer on their teammates.
Generally speaking I think that our school pep assemblies have meet the criteria of what a pep assembly is really supposed to be. Everybody seems to be pumped up in the gym with the school song playing and we get competitive in the competitions because we want our grade to win.
