Hometown Heroes A Hit

Role models from Friendswood High School too numerous to count showed up bright and early yesterday to lead our Red Ribbon Week Character Pep Rally. The drum line and the pep band played for us, the cheerleaders led cheers for us, and the drill team danced for us. They all signed autographs and gave character high fives! They joined our character campaign by signing our pledge poster ...

... and they launched us into our day through their character victory tunnels. Several leaders took the mic to give us pep talks about making healthy choices; the quarterback of the football team encouraged us to promise to always use character as our super power, which led beautifully into a recitation of our 

Character Pledge for them:

What a way to start our day!

Hometown Heroes.

A few of our first graders from Carolyn Lowe's class shared these reflections (corrected for spelling but not content):

*Drug free is good to be! We had a pep rally to remind us to be drug free.  The cheerleaders came to do cheers. Their cheers remind me to be drug free. The Wranglerettes also came to remind us to be drug free. The cheerleaders and the Wranglerettes are my hometown heroes.
