Pep Club held the annual homecoming pep assembly Friday, Sept. 29 to kick off the homecoming weekend. The assembly was held in between first and third hour which were shortened for the assembly. The pep executives started the assembly by “parting the red sea”, where the pep executives run up into each of the student sections and part it down the middle with the EAST flags. Principal Jason Peres then gave a speech to honor the academic achievements of the students. Speeches were also made by the coaches for soccer, volleyball, tennis and football to honor their sports. The Lancer Dancers and cheer performed their game day routines and all of the homecoming candidates participated in a game of musical chairs. Senior Ryder Hendon was the last one standing and won a $20 gift card to Chipotle. The assembly ended with everyone doing the “do it” chant and senior Collin Ford telling everyone to come to the football game tonight.
The homecoming football game will be tonight Friday, Sept. 29 at the SM North Stadium at 7 p.m. varsity will play SM West. The dance will be on Saturday, Sept. 30 in the East cafeteria from 8-10 p.m.

WAYS TO RECOVER YOUR LOST BTC FROM A FAKE ONLINE BROKER.
I was scammed by a fake Bitcoin investment company last month and lost about $750,000, which was my life savings. They promised guaranteed profits, denied my withdrawal requests, and eventually disappeared. I was completely devastated and didn’t know where to turn.
A friend later referred me to SAFEGUARD RECOVERY EXPERT, and I reached out to them for help. They listened and guided me through the process.
