Student holding sign that says "Rock the Test - Don't stress! Do your best!"

Ridgecrest hosted its very first ever Pep Rally to help students get excited for ACAP success!! Ms. Travis, one of our 3rd grade teachers, organized this amazing event which was also a fundraiser for PBIS. Students who wished to pie a teacher paid $1 to have their name put in the hat to be chosen. All grades came to the cafeteria to see teachers and administrators lined up in front of the stage while wearing trash bags. When a student's name was called they got to choose who to pie in the face!! We partied, danced, and some teachers got pied! It was so much fun and our Rockets had a BLAST! We hope they were very inspired to ROCK THE TEST!!
