On Friday, Manual hosted a pep rally for the basketball Homecoming games. 

The event began with a celebration for the boys’ and girls’ varsity basketball teams followed by a singing of the national anthem.  The Crimson Sound Pep Band then played and the nominees for Homecoming court were announced. 

The Manual cheer team performed, followed by a Hula Hoop competition. Principal Newman, along with participants from each grade, participated in the competition. 

Students from each grade were also selected to participate in a game of “Simon Says,” which ended with five winners.

The Dazzlers also performed their hip hop routine and the pep rally ended with the seniors taking the spirit stick.
