Don Lugo’s Rally on Friday was Sesame Street themed and Renaissance was giving out High Honor awards to students with high GPA’s. A major part of getting that award students got a High Honor Don Lugo pin and cord/sash. The rally had series of of games, one of which was where you had a net and had to grab the plastic balls and throw them into a bucket. Another game was where the contestants put Vaseline on their nose and had to pick up cotton balls and try to put as many as they can into the the cup and whoever had the most won the game. In the third game they had two contestants where one had to be holding a plastic cup on their head while the other one threw the ping pong ball and had to try and make it in the cup.
In the next game they had 7 contestants partake in an eating contest and whoever can consume it the fastest which for that challenge they gave out a chocolate chip cookie and milk. The school hip hop team performed to Lil Uzi Vert’s song, “I Just Wanna Rock“, and danced off. The Don Lugo cheer team also performed at the rally. Junior class-man, Austin Brown reported that the rally took 2 hours before the rally day. Yet, on the day of the rally it took 3 hours to set up completely, they had even come in early to set up. Brown stated, “the purpose of this rally was to hype the Don Lugo vs Santa Paula game”, in which Lugo won, “and to hype up school spirit and raise morale for students.”
