Some of our teachers have been trying to spread school spirit throughout the halls of Mooreville. Starting with the first pep rally, none of the kids wanted to show spirit,so the teachers made a section just for them. They yelled and tried to encourage the students to join in.
Then they made funny and encouraging posters, including students and some coaches, and would stand outside in the mornings yelling and shouting. Mrs. Vanlandingham states, “ Several of the teachers decided that at the next pep rally we would show the kids how they were supposed to act. This is what ultimately led to us making the signs.” Mrs. Vanlandingham also stated, “the kids would come to us asking for signs to be made about them. We tried to make things fun and create an atmosphere of excitement for gameday on campus. All of the teachers made signs, brought pom poms, noisemakers, etc for the pep rally. As far as the signs were concerned it was usually Mrs. Keith, Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Holladay, Mrs. Comer, Mrs. Marcy and I thought of the signs and made them.” They also balred music in the morning as the students arrived at school.
All of the students are thankful for the teachers taking a leap and trying to spread school spirit! Hopefully the school spirit will stick for the rest of the year!
