Pep Rally!

On Tuesday, we had our first pep rally of the year and my first pep rally at UC. Everyone in the school either participated in the pep rally by walking out with their fall sports team, playing in the volleyball game, or supporting the school by cheering in the bleachers. Every one either wore blue and white or their uniform to show school spirit. Signs were also hung up around the gym representing each sports team. After each team walked out, the gymnastics team (that's me!) did a routine and the crowd got excited! After that kids from each grade participated in a volleyball game. The freshman played against juniors; the sophomores against the seniors. The juniors and seniors won their games and the seniors got to play against the teachers.
The whole school was excited and the energy was high for the pep rally. This is definitely an event to look forward to every sports season. Incoming freshman get excited for it! If you do a sport that’s great, if not why not try out for something new, you never know. You could discover that you are really good at it. If you don’t do a sport, get involved one way or another. Getting involved in UC through clubs or sports teams will really help you through each year. You meet new people and have fun. It’s a great opportunity and it will really help you feel like you are really part of the school.

PSATs and Counties

On Wednesday all of the sophomores and juniors took the PSATs. The PSATs are a standardized test made for sophomores and juniors as a practice SAT test. It doesn’t count for much since its just practice, but try your best because you could get a scholarship for it. We had a half day on Wednesday and the PSAT took up the whole day. Even though I knew it was practice it still got me a little nervous. Although, it was long it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be and I’m glad it’s over with!
I’m on the UC gymnastics team and today will be my second time competing. (I wasn’t allowed to compete earlier in the year because I had to wait 30 days, but my 30 days are finally over!) Today after school is counties. Many schools will be competing in this meet from all over Union County. I’m nervous to compete, but I’m also excited. It’s fun to compete not only with your team, but with other teams from all over especially if you know other competitors. Wish us all luck!

Month One!

Hi guys, life as a transfer is going great so far! First of all, wow, I can’t believe the first month of school is already over! The first week was crazy adjusting to everything, but I got the hang of it soon enough. I have already met a lot of great people and I’m so glad to have made so many new friends. Not too long ago was the welcome back dance. For all of you who didn’t go, be sure to come next year, and 8th graders look forward to it! I had a great time and I’m sure everyone else did, too. Freshman for a day has already started (my brother was here yesterday) and the open house is tonight! Be sure to come for a day and check out the open house!
