Former Principal Rick Fleming, who retired last year after being principal of the school for 17 years, waves to the crowd on March 13. “This event is awesome, but they should save it for years when we get blue ribbons,” junior Kellyn Hoffmann said. “It would make the event even more special.”

Students play Gaga ball, where players try to eliminate opponents by hitting them with a ball below the knees. “I’ve been playing Gaga ball for years now, as a boy scout,” junior Parker Wales said. “Although I think my lack of skill seen today comes from the mass amount of people in the pit. I’m typically used to bouncing the balls off the walls and on to people to get them out. The school should invest in an in-ground wooden gaga pit, then I’ll play better.”

The Roar
Daniella Fassman

Daniella Fassman, Staff Writer

Hey there! I’m a junior and this is my first year on the “Roar”! I enjoy writing anything from news to poetry, and recently started exploring new art mediums in my free time. I am also part of the girls cross country team, a proud member of FRC Team Voltage 386, and love attending First Priority and Bible study with my friends.
