Homecoming pep rally supports athletic program, spreads school spirit
Alyssa Groh, Editor
Lake Forest High School
celebrated its homecoming
week Sept. 17-21.
The week was all about
spreading school spirit and
supporting the all sports at
the school.
For student body president
JD O’Keane, raising
the school spirit is what its
all about.
“My favorite part
about homecoming week
would be the energy at the
school,” O’Keane said. “It
is the height of school spirit
during the year and our
Scout pride can be seen
for miles. The pep rally on
Friday is the culmination
of all our spirit and it’s
truly amazing to see.”
Throughout the week
students dressed up to different
themes each day,
and ended the week with
the pep rally on Friday.
On Monday students
sported their favorite pajamas,
Tuesday was jersey
day, Wednesday was decades
day, Thursday was
class distinction day and
on Friday was a Scout out.
During the pep rally on
Friday, the Scout energy
level was at its highest.
Students and teachers
competed in a variety of
games such as who can eat
Fruit by the Foot the fastest
and a name that tune
battle.
All athletic teams were
also recognized and the
dance/poms team and
cheerleaders came together
for a couple routines.
A few senior class students
performed a comical
dance and the football
team and cheerleaders
came together for a dance
of their own.

its performance by displaying an “L” and “F” to represent
Lake Forest during the pep rally Friday, Sept. 21.

To finish off the pep assembly,
Scout Nation leaders,
a student organization
which helps spread school
spirit, lead the school in
chants.
O’Keane had one hope
that students took away
from homecoming week.
“As student body president,
my hope is that each
student, no matter how involved
they are, recognizes
that we all come from
different backgrounds
with different interests and
that we can come together
as one student body and
celebrate Lake Forest High
School,” he said.
Students race teachers to see which group can eat Fruit
by the Foots the fastest.
The cheerleaders created this formation at the end of
their performance to help raise the energy of the school
for the big game later that night.
