The embodiment of team spirit was ever present at the painting of “Team Banners” in the cafeteria for the Homecoming Pep Rally next week. Every team gathered around tables to paint their own custom banners adorned with Seahawk colors and a flair of creativity unique to each team. Afterward, all the athletes were treated to a delicious pasta night thanks to our kitchen staff. This annual tradition truly kicks off Homecoming Spirit – great job Seahawks! See you at Homecoming next weekend, Oct. 6, festivities start at 5pm with game time beginning at 7pm.

What a special heartfelt tribute, as both teams were honored to receive a pre-game locker room pep talk from Helen Patton (granddaughter of General George Patton) and Michelle Strauss from the Patton Foundation.
