School Spirit

Last night Cal's tennis match was cancelled because of rain.  So he and some of his friends decided to go to the girls volleyball match.  When he got home he filled us in on the game.  The girls lost to a neighboring school that has beaten them 11 years in a row.  They played well, however, and made it a very close game.

The part we most enjoyed of his synopsis of the match was his description of the student cheering section.  I could tell that he had a lot of fun as he could barely talk, because his voice was so hoarse from helping lead the cheers.  His favorite part was after an ace when he, Jayce and Jake pretended to be bowling pins and another student "bowled" them over.

I was glad that he had a good time.  School spirit is something our high school administrators and teachers are really working to improve.   He said all of the "big wigs" were there and seemed to enjoy their enthusiasm.  Today I laughed out loud as I read the high school's daily announcements.  This is what was written for last night's game:

The student section was amazing at last night's volleyball game - keep up the good work of supporting your Warriors in all of the sports! "The volleyball teams would like to thank the fans and especially the great student section last night. The enthusiasm was awesome and we hope to see even more of you next week."
