Chapel Day

December 8th is Chapel day, and as tradition we celebrate it every year. We start out the day with a mass, and this year every grade has prepared something unique and special to present. After that we will be organizing some activities for all the students to participate but it´s mainly for the elementary kids. Before Chapel used to be a comemoration that took the whole day but because last year some students decided to skip some activities the school thought it was better to cut down the time. Chapel day is a day that is always kept in our memories because for those who are in school since little they can probably remember all the fun years of games they had and enjoyed.

Big 8

After months of practice and games 8 different school meet at NR to compete against each other. Basketball and soccer games are held during the Big 8. The schools that participate are Chapel, Graded, EAC, PACA, EARJ, ASA, OLM, and EAB. It is very competitive between the schools but everybody enjoys it because we get to interact and meet people from different schools. Schools get together, support each other, and cheer for each other. It is a very uniting tournament and´for sure nobody gets out of their complaining. The girls basketball team came back with 4th place , the boys unfortunately were only able to make 6th place. In soccer the girls also got 3rd place and the boys 4th place. Participating in the Chapel sports team is an enriching activity so everybody should consider that for next semester.

Pep Rally

During the Blue and White day at the last period of the day the pep rally happens. All the students from grades 7-12 get together at the gym to participate in different games and activities. First all of the athletes in the teams are presented and then two people fro each grade participate in different games. Every year they vary but most of the time is a food competition game which the person who finishes eating their food first wins. There are the two cheerleading competitions the one from JV and the one from Varsity. There is also an activity where teachers play a certain sport against the students. Everybody enjoys watching the pep rally but the only complaint most people have is that it´s too short, but the administration only grants us one period.

Spirit Week

Every semester one week before our Chapel athletes travel to the Big 8/4 competitions there is always the spirit week. It's a week where we try to encourage and support the athletes by coming each day of the week dressed in a different theme to demostrate school spirit. The grade in which most people come dressed wins money. The executive STUCO members go every last period to count the students who came dressed and anounce the winners at the endo of the day. It´s a week that everybody ends up enjoying because everyone has a lot of fun dressing up and wearing clothes they would never wear. This semester Monday was pijama day, which is the day where most people come dressed because they just get up and go to school. Tuesday was nerd day which is the funniest day to see how people get dreeseed, everyone come with high waist pants, gel on their hair, and glasses. Wednesday is Retro Day so each person could choose the decade they wanted to come in, the school was literally full of hippies that day. Thursday was what was called "Senior" day (old people day) which was change not to offend people. Friday as always was blue and white day the colors that represent our school, and all the students came dressed that day. It is truly a fun, exciting, and engaging week for all the students.
