More pictures from the Energy Busy Pep Rally last week.
Game Day!!🏀🦅
Dr Jim Van Allan presented West Side students and staff with an "Energy Bus pep rally." The Energy Bus Pep Rally was lively and enthusiastic inspired by the book "The Energy Bus," focusing on promoting positive energy, teamwork, and a shared vision within a group, using interactive activities and motivational speeches to uplift spirits and encourage everyone to "ride the bus" towards a common goal, much like a traditional pep rally before a sporting event, but with a strong emphasis on positive mindset and personal empowerment.
