As students, teachers, and faculty paraded through the doors of
Eastern on August 19, 2002, they were greeted by a plethora of cheerful
signs and welcoming phrases on windows, walls, and doors. Thanks
to Eastern’s newly founded Spirit Club, a pristine atmosphere
lingered through the student-engulfed halls. Signs created by steadfast
spirit club members read “WELCOME BACK EAGLES!” and
“GOOD LUCK THIS YEAR!” To this day, Spirit Club members paint their cars, make signs, have outrageous dress days, and paint their faces to show
their true Eastern pride. These antics add an upbeat
attitude to the dreary halls as well as at pep-rallies and sporting
events. Signs for football games stretch as wide as the goal
posts, allowing the eager football team to run through, bursting
with excitement that people were supporting them as well as the
other sports at Eastern.

One of the main jobs of the spirit club is to plan and carry out school school spirit events, especially pep rallies. There are two important aspects of a successful pep rally: a really
pumped up student body and good planning. From the fun series of
events to signs posted all over the school and gym, it’s our
spirit club that pulls it off flawlessly every time. Mrs. Fitch and
Ms. Croket get all the spirit club members involved to keep our rallies fun and safe and really
keep the spirit of Eastern high. |
