As hoards of incoming freshmen and their parents fill the auditorium and field house tomorrow night for curriculum and activities night, some changes might be noticed.
This year, the focus with be on school spirit instead of talking at the parents about clubs and activities, according to director of student activities Katie Odell.
“This year my main goal is to really put an effort on school spirit,” she said. “Unlike most years, we’re going to have the JV cheerleaders, a mascot, and it’s really a time to get the freshmen excited.”
Tomorrow night will include the addition of 10 more organizations and a crammed field house full of pep and wolf spirit. In addition to these changes, Odell talks about a new way to have the freshmen interacts.
“We’re going to be handing out passports to each freshmen and as they go to each booth they’ll have their passports stamped,” she said. “This way at the end of the night they’ll give them back to me and I’ll be able to contact them to provide more information on the clubs their interested in and put them on the email list.”
The night will begin at 6:30 with an address with principal Jason Ness and assistant principal of student services Antwan Babakhani. At 7:15, half of the families will be given tours by student leaders and the other half will visit the field house where information about clubs and activities with be provided. Each group will have an opportunity to experience each event.

back when i was in 8th grade my dad’s first comment was that there were too many cheerleaders getting in the way and spinning around in the hallways
apparently this member of the administration thinks there need to be even more cheerleaders.
shouldn’t there be more emphasis on you know, academics? or clubs that actually lead to learning something or that look good on a college application?
or apparently more cheerleaders.
