Preparing for the pep rally
Prior to your scheduled virtual pep rally, here are a few things you can do to prepare your school:
- Decide how to share this video with your school. We suggest sharing during the morning announcements, during specials or creating a schoolwide event to share the pep rally.
- Remind teachers, staff, students and caregivers about the upcoming Strong4Life Challenge pep rally via email, calendar invites or bulletin boards. Check out our Challenge Communications Toolkit for messaging suggestions.
- Promote Strong4Life by displaying your posters around the school, adding “Strong4Life” to your school marquee or creating a bulletin board highlighting the pep rally.
On the day of the pep rally
