ATLAS PEP RALLY: This is how it began!
Comet Nation launched our spaceship for the ATLAS Summative galaxy on Monday! Our aim, -to go where no scholar has gone before.
At our Schoolwide launch the Mills Middle School band set the stage with "take off" music. We had examples of "how-to," and "how-not-to" be in the testing environment. Philander Smith College students of the fraternity Phi Beta Sigma ignited us with a few steps to celebrate when we take orbit. Our Comet Nation cheerleaders affirmed that "we can" and "will do it!" Our Comet Nation staff demonstrated what we do when show our growth on the ATLAS Summative by "putting our boots on the ground." And our PCCSD champion, Dr. Bell provided us with a mental mantra to ensure our success! A great uplifting time! #thebestisyettocome #atlassummative #peprally #millsmiddleschoolcomets #tothestars #wearethechampions
