The Associated Student Body (ASB) hosted its annual back to school rally Monday, August 19. After the first week of the school year, students were ready to show their school spirit, dressing head to toe in class colors: yellow, green, orange and purple. Classes competed in games of tug-a-war, beach ball crowd races, a new game where students must find objects and put them in a hula hoop and a race to wrap a student in streamers. By the end of the two rallies, seniors walked away victorious.
