Oneida High School students gathered for an exciting pep rally before the holiday break. It’s especially fun to hold a pep rally before the break because it gives students a chance to pause, celebrate, and connect before time away from school. As schedules get busy and academic demands increase, a pep rally offers a joyful break that helps students release stress, recharge, and head into the holidays on a positive note. It also reinforces a sense of community, allowing students and staff to come together, reflect on the semester, and share excitement and school pride—making the transition into the holiday break feel festive, meaningful, and memorable.
