It was fun to watch the children at today's Early Childhood pep rally. They sang, danced, drummed, and cheered throughout the whole event, and even sang Happy Birthday to our new head of school, Nathan Washer. It was also great to see the upper school student representatives from football, dance, cheer, and band. They shared their favorite early childhood memory with our students. All of the representatives were seniors and had been at Collegiate since preschool. Spartan mascot, SPARTY, also made an appearance, along with head football coach, Troy Black, and cheer leading coach, Ashleigh Hennessy. Many thanks to all of these individuals. Hopefully, this event has helped prepare children for what they will see at this Friday's homecoming pep rally which will follow the all-school picnic.
