Mount Vernon High School hosted an exuberant pep rally, transforming the school gymnasium into a lively hub of holiday spirit and celebration. Wrapping paper, marshmallow shooting, a captivating teacher bell choir, and the presence of iconic characters like the Grinch and Santa Claus contributed to the festive atmosphere.
The highlight of the event was the recognition of outstanding students who demonstrated both academic excellence and active participation in the festivities. The Students of the Month were given special acknowledgement during the ceremony for their enthusiasm and engagement in the spirited games that brought the entire school community together.
Sawyer Boggs, Ian Hawthorne, Hannah Hofferberth, and Mateo Pechon-Elkins were honored during the pep rally. These exemplary students were recognized as Merit Scholarship Honorees, a testament to their exceptional achievements and contributions to the school community.
The highlight of the assembly may have been when the administrators were pied in the face. The winning homerooms distinguished themselves by collecting the highest amounts of money and food items, contributing to the school’s initiative to support Food for the Hungry.
