Restored: With Student Input, NCHS Pep Rally Returns To Homecoming Week
|
Because New Canaan High School students started meeting at the end of last academic year and through the summer to plan for a Homecoming Week pep rally, the popular event will be restored one year after administrators cancelled it, officials say. Student Council representatives, varsity team captains and others met with administrators to plan Spirit Week activities and, as a result, a well-loved school tradition will once again be held on the Friday headed into Homecoming Weekend, NCHS Principal Bill Egan said. “For me, it was something that I wanted to bring back history and traditions of the school, and that is something that the students had talked about being a big deal,” Egan told NewCanaanite.com. “But with that comes a responsibility, too, and students were actually planning before I started, there were groups of students meeting with adults in building and trying to change activities and make it different. And they worked really hard to do that.
