Today, November 21, East ended another successful Spirit Week with an enthusiastic pep rally. The marching band welcomed a sea of students clothed in red and white as they filed into the bleachers and even along the floor.

To officially kick off the pep rally, the East cheerleaders performed to the styling of Britney Spears. After an opening with numerous flips and lifts, the homecoming representatives and their escorts paraded around the gym with each grade’s banner following behind.
