Progress Reports, XC & Pep Rally

The halls of UC sure are buzzing with so much going on. Progress Reports are sent out to the parents of every student in the middle of every marking period, and they have your current grade in every class. All of the kids here, including me, stress out about them. Fortunately I did fine. My grades are good, and a load of stress is off my back.

Last Saturday our Cross Country team went to Van Cortlandt Park in New York City in the Bronx for the Manhattan College Invitational. Its slogan is the race of “The Biggest and the Best”, and it sure was. There were over 12,000 runners participating, and over 30 or 40,000 people in the park. It was an awesome race. The course is the 3rd hardest in the country and teams from all over the country come to run it. Our team did awesome, and it gave us loads of confidence going into our Union County Championship race on Wednesday the 24th. It should be a great race.

To top it all off we had our fall sports pep rally this past Tuesday. Every sports team walks into the gym and the whole school goes crazy! There were performances by the Step Squad, the Break Dancers, the Gymnastics team, and the Cheerleaders. There were also Volleyball games between all the grades. There were 12 people representing every grade. The Seniors won between all the grades, but later fell to the Faculty in a very exciting game. The Pep rally was a great time, and I can’t wait until the winter when we have our next one. Life in UC is sure exciting right now.
