On Tuesday, Jan. 31, the winter pep rally was held during Pathways to Excellence. The pep rally was held to honor the winter sports teams. It also featured a game between members of the Westlake basketball team.
“I really liked that they honored the Westlake [basketball team] because they don’t get a lot of attention at Lake Central, so having them [be a] part of the pep rally made it a little bit [more] special,” Claire Urchell (11) said.
After the Westlake team played, the hosts of the pep rally then announced that the students would be participating in a karaoke competition where the grades faced off against each other. It featured songs like “Party in the USA” and “YMCA.”
“I thought that the [karaoke competition] was interesting, but it could have been done in a better way,” Amy Denton (11) said.
There was then a basketball game held where the students faced off against the staff members. The students won the game with a score of 15-12.
“I think it was really interesting. That was my favorite part of the [pep rally] because I got to see the students and the teachers interact with each other,” Urchell said.
