![]() By: Sebastian Martinez School rallies are one of the best ways to raise the spirit in one’s school. These rallies for the most part done in an open area or in the school gym. At these school rallies, the students are able to play games while representing their grade level. This is also a time where the teachers and coaches take some time to make announcements about the sports teams and school. No matter how the current school rallies here at KSJC are planned, there are always ways to implement new ways to raise spirit and make the rallies more fun. Here are five ways to help any school raise their school spirit and improve their rallies. #1: Host Face paint stations A cheap and sure way to help get people get pumped for a school rally is face paint. It’s an awesome and easy way to get students decorated with the school colors and event the school mascot. With approval from the school, the students in charge of planning the rallies could easily hold a station before school, during lunch or an open time period before the rally to allow the students to easily stop by and get ready for the event. #2: Hold a t-shirt decorating contest With blank white t-shirts being easily available at stores like the dollar tree, you can invite student to make a unique t-shirts in spirit of the school. This could easily be done with paint or even markers. All that you would need to do is find an appropriate time (lunch time for example), set up a table and invited people over to grab a t-shirt that they could wear for the day and the rally. #3: Host a cookout/ barbecue By asking teachers and parents who are active in school planning and see which of them are willing to cook and sell food, you can pump people up for the rally while fundraising for the school. Here parents can mingle with one another and with the school teachers about anything and everything. Like this, the parents feel more connected to the teachers, the school and each other. All while enjoying delicious food and helping out the school. #4: Have a poster making contest among the grade levels Many and most schools can be quite competitive between grade levels. The students, especially at their rallies are always attempting to one up each other. This sense of competition is always a fun way to show their pride. An awesome way to portray a class’ pride is to make a unique poster for their designated grade level. This way the rest of the school can see who they’re up against. Important to remember that this is meant to be in good taste and just for fun. #5: Make spirit bracelets A final way to raise school spirit is to make spirit bracelets. These bracelets can easily be make with string and colored beads. These can be made with the school colors and if you choose to spice things up, you can add beads with letters to spell out the school’s name. These would be great to be passed out to the student during lunch time ahead of the rally. These would also make awesome souvenirs to remember the awesome rally you hosted by using these tips. School rallies should be a time where the students and teachers of a school can hang out and play games while having fun. These are some of the events that should raise the school spirit the most. I believe that for a school rally to be successful, they should have been planned with plenty of time and maybe even get suggestions by the student body. All in all, school rallies are a time where students and teachers gather together in a small gym, compete in games, and the seniors always win.
