Students from all grades gathered two weeks ago to help construct floats for Friday’s Spirit Rally. The float themes for this year are “Scooby-Doo” for freshmen, “Lightning McQueen” for sophomores, “Teen Beach” for juniors and “Jumanji” for seniors.

Points earned for the best spirit week floats will contribute to each grade’s total Spirit Week points.

Freshman Orlando Jimenez said he attended to help out with the freshman float.

“Me and my friends were hanging out after cross country practice and decided to come here and help out,” he said.

Junior Aeshaan Singhal, an ASB senator, said float building is a fun responsibility.

“I supervise what people are doing, delegate tasks and make sure the vibe is good,” Singhal said. “My job is making it fun so that people come.”

Junior Jacob Moore said he joined because of the strong sense of community.

“I love the community here,” Moore said. “I see all the teamwork and people working together, it’s great.”

Sophomore Ashley Wu said she attended float building to focus on the artistic aspects of the event..

“My favorite part is working with everyone,” Wu said. “I wanted to help out our class to win spirit week. I paint the float and make sure it looks good.”

Float building continued throughout Spirit Week.

“It’s really cool to see everything come together,” Wu said. “It’s a lot of work but worth it when all the floats are shown.”
