Our Georgia Milestones Pep Rally was a huge success! 🎉

The Cass High School spirit band and cheerleaders joined us on the track to help get our students excited and ready to do their best on state testing. Each grade level showed off their own cheer, competed for the most school spirit, and our 4th grade students proudly took home this year’s GOAT Award! 🐐

Teachers and special area staff also joined the fun in our inflatable costume race, with Mrs. Blackburn the Sumo Wrestler claiming the championship! Students also learned about this year’s exciting Level Up incentives, including extra recess, popsicles, ice cream sundae parties, and even a CiCi’s pizza party for top achievers. Most importantly, our students left feeling encouraged, confident, and ready to shine on the Georgia Milestones! #LevelUp #GeorgiaMilestones #StudentSuccess
