WELCOME BACK RALLY

Written by OGHS ASB

Following Oak Grove traditions, Oak Grove held their annual Welcome Back Rally on Friday, August 19, 2022! The football stadium was decked out in colorful posters cheering on all four classes. We have our class boards to thank for our spirited and filled bleachers! Class boards and ASB arrived at school 2 hours before school in preparation of rally games, music and decorations. As music filled the football field, students sat in their respective areas amongst their class, eager for the rally activities to begin. Kicking off the rally fun, our beloved MC, Mr. Rosato, performed our traditional class roll call where each class made their presence known with loud cheers and screams The itinerary consisted 4 memorable performances: Cheer, Poly, Kpop and Folklorico! Each performance hyped up the audience even more and left us anticipating for more! As for rally games, the class put on an intense competition of Tug-o-War. Unlike the classic game, a kiddie pool filled with water was placed in between the competing teams, increasing the desperation and desire to win! The classes also competed in a "Finish the Lyric" game where the loudest and most accurate class earns spirit points to go towards Oak Grove's biggest event of the year, Fantastics! As expected, by the end of the rally, Seniors won the highest amount of points of 437, followed by the juniors with 306 and sophomores and freshmen with 224 and 139
