The Halloween Assembly relay races brought plenty of laughs, teamwork, and competition! From the scooter/plunger race and double-team scooter race to the four-person balloon race and balloon-popping relay, each event required teams to come up with a strategy to get the job done.

The competition was on and the Seniors came out on top!

Our Yellowjackets knew how to bring the noise and keep the fun going during Homecoming Week!

The mattress slide relays had everyone on their feet, cheering as competitors tried to slide onto the mattresses across to the other end of the gym… and some slid right past them! The crowd kept getting louder with every run, making it a competition everyone could get into!

Friday’s assembly kept the excitement rolling with relay races featuring the four-person balloon run, the four-legged race, and planking! And just when everyone thought it couldn’t get any better, we wrapped things up with musical frisbee!

The crowd was LOUD, the energy was HIGH, and the Yellowjacket spirit was on full display!

The energy was HIGH at our Homecoming assembly! From the Court questions to the cape snatching and tug o’ war, our Yellowjackets brought the school spirit and competition!

The Seniors came out on top, taking the wins in BOTH cape snatching and tug o’ war! Looks like the Class of 2027 wasn’t messing around!
