“Why I’m Skipping the Pep Rally” by Simone and Katie

This Friday, I’m asking my mom for a note excusing me from pep rally. Here’s why. Pep rallies are loud, obnoxious, and exclusionary. The whole thing centers around the football team, which isn’t even good, while our math team competes and does well, and I didn’t even know we had a math team until last year. The different clubs and activity groups enter through one door and circle around the gym. When they’re done and seated, the football team enters through another set of doors, because they’re that special. FAVORITISM! The kings have arrived, and the crowd goes wild.

The pep rally recognizes a lot of clubs, but they aren’t recognized equally, and that’s the problem. All other sports and clubs are considered second to the football team, a sign of the favoritism toward male sports. Even the performing band falls victim to the chaos, as they can’t be heard while the seniors and freshmen engage in a shouting match across the gym. Pep rallies makes me hate my peers instead of love my school.

Did you know that hummus could also be spelt as hommus? I usually hate hummus but I am praising Cedar’s Hommus, this is literally the best hummus I have ever eaten.

Hi, I’m Hanna, 16, really digging hummus at the moment, Poughkeepsie High School Junior. This is like the 5th time I’ve done this program (and I’m still loving it!) I’m gonna be really sentimental right now and your’e gonna listen to it (as said by Kelsey). I’ve felt like theres been a lot of change though these 3 years; I remember being a little seedling and the first time I made a podcast but now, I feel like I’m so old. I feel old. Jesus. Three years ago I was probably just chilling, thinking not about hummus, my thought subjects have changed since then.

Thoughts I Probably Had In The Eighth Grade

  • Not Hummus
  • How I’m gonna get home from DST
  • I’m gonna walk on the grass when my mom isn’t looking
  • Feeling neutral about school subjects

Thoughts I Have Now

  • Yasssss Hummus
  • Cheeze Its
  • This Bio
  • I want a coke
  • I want a coke with name spelled right
  • Ehh about the name Hector
  •  Playing Carter (my bass)

Hey, my name is Megan! I am a sophomore at Poughkeepsie high school. My favorite color is my blue and that’s about all the favorites I know. I’m horrible at picking favorites, really. I love drawing, I’ve been drawing since I could practically hold a pencil. I used to know how to draw animals but that all kind of went out the window as soon as I learned how to draw people.

Hi!!!

My name is Simone Teague. I am 15 years old, and a student at Poughkeepsie High School. I love cooking, video games, renovation shows, drawing pigs, and technology confuses me. I have two brothers, one older one younger. My parents used to own a restaurant, but that is now a thing of the past. I am taking three AP classes, I cant take naps, and I am gluten-free.  Oh and I HATE grammar. And I cant spell. At all. Nope.

Hi, my name is Karen. I’m 16. I’m a pluviophile, and I’m sure some of you are, too. I’ve been playing violin since 4th grade. I’m a junior in high school now, and avidly looking for something to do with the rest of my life.

DO NOT watch If I Stay unless you want to be sad for a week. The Fault in Our Stars is another movie you should only watch if you want to cry. BUT The Giver was great, even though it strayed from the book a little. I still recommend it.

I read a lot, so if there are any books you think I should read, let me know.

Hey there,

My name is Kenechukwu–it’s a mouthful–but feel free to call me Kene (Keh-Neh). I’m a biology major at Vassar, also getting a certified in adolescent education.

I’m from far, far away: Lagos, Nigeria. It’s Africa’s most populous city, and has tons of interesting stuff to do, but can also get really crowded. Case in point: driving two miles to my elementary school took me about an hour, thanks to held-up traffic.

I hope to teach internationally after my time at Vassar, and eventually work as a public health practitioner.

In my free time, I love to play tennis, the piano, youtube videos and old pokemon games.

Looking forward to meeting you!
