S-S-S-O-F-M-M-M-O-R, S-O-F-M-O-R Sophomores!

Other than the fact that we're teaching our sophomores to spell incorrectly, the spirit assembly was a blast. Today was my first assembly at AHS. It was a Spring Spirit and Sports Assembly. Which means it is an attempt to recognize student athletes and raise student involvement. About a third of the school was absent, since it is the first day back from a long weekend, and only juniors have to be at school for testing the rest of the week. Everyone else gets a second spring break. The assembly was chaotic and very, very noisy. The juniors won the Spirit Stick for being the loudest and rowdiest. The juniors and seniors rushed the floor and nearly trampled several people. I was glad to be up in the sophomore section, away from all the action. It was nice to see my students recognized for their commitment and acheivements to school activities. Attending the assembly made me remember a lot about my high school years. It was fun to see kids being kids -rowdy, loud, and disorganized.
