School Spirit
Since freshmen year i remember the schools spirit. My senior class when i was a freshmen was awesome! There was always a band at the basketball games, a mascot at most of the football games, and people just representing groves. When that class left and i moved on to a sophomore then to a junior, i felt the school spirit went down dramatically. No one went to football games, and when we did know one ever believed in our football team or cheered. Its not that our football team is bad or has been bad in the past, its that we don't believe in our players. Our athletes at Groves needs everyone support in what they do. A little belief in someone can go a long way in their life's. This year has been different. More people at more sporting events and activities. For example i went to the groves soccer game versus Lahser. I have never seen that many people at a high school soccer game. It was incredible, and i had fun. This past homecoming game was awesome as well. There where nearly 1500 people in attendance. I love the class of "09" and the spirit we possess. I really hope this trend continues into the winter and spring sports.

I noticed that there has been more spirit as well. In the past, my freshman, sophmore, and junior year, I remember that not that many people would dress up. I noticed this year most of the senior class dress up and show their school spirit. I was really surpirsed to come to the homecoming game and see all those people there. My friend Georios was in for the weekend and we he came to the game with me and I remember him telling me he has never seen this many people at a game before. I'm not sure why more and more people are attending to these events, but it is good that people are coming and supporting our school. I also hope this trend keeps occuring because its fun to see everyone cheer on our teams.
I think people have definitly cared more about spirit here at Groves. Freshman year I never knew what to do for spirit week. I always went to the football games but I never knew how to dress up or the extent of what to wear. Now being a senior I realized that I have so much more school spirit. I loved dressing up at Spirit Week and the Homecoming game and everything else. I cannot believe that We are in our senior year of high school. I don't know what i'm going to do when everyone goes their seperate ways.
