The pep rally with the most anticipation is the Academic Pep Rally. This year it was held on April 28th, and the theme was “Ascension Family Vacation.” The leadership team started planning this pep rally when they returned from their Christmas break. They were split into different groups and while some members of the team made the banners and props, others made the scripts and organized the technological aspects of the pep rally. They put in hours of work which made this pep rally such a success. 

The stops for the family vacations were New York City, Disney, Hawaii, Las Vegas, and Colorado. The cheer team decided to make their destination New York City. For their dance, they dressed up as tourists, wearing “I love New York” t-shirts, and one of the cheerleaders, Catherine Poole, dressed up as the Statue of Liberty.
