Winter at Pitman gets very exciting for our students and staff! We do have finals which tend to stress out some students. However if you need a good break and exciting thing to distract yourself from the stress. There are plenty of fun activities extending through sports, rally’s, Hoopscoming and even winter formal! To start off our exciting winter events we had our first winter rally on December 8th!
Lots of our winter activities correlate with basketball season! If you didn’t know Pitman has Hoopscoming. Hoopcoming is another version of Homecoming. Students from clubs and sports teams get nominated to represent their club or sport and then are voted as queen, king, prince and princess. Our upcoming rally will take place on Friday January 26th. Another big part of basketball season as for every sport is our big game against Turlock High! This year it will be at the Turlock High School campus on February 24th. Last year we saw an amazing win from our boys varsity basketball team, I can’t wait to see how well we play this year! Make sure to go out and support all of our winter sports from basketball, to soccer, swim and many more.
Another thrilling part of sports is the crown and this year Mr. Suarez is putting together an exciting fan group for our soccer team, an Ultras group. Ultras are a group of people that would come to our home soccer games and hype up the players with chants, flags, banners etc. They come to make noise and cheer on all the amazing players. This year there are five or six home soccer games. If you are interested in being a part of the Ultras group go to room H123 and talk to Mr. Suarez. To keep this excitement going a few weeks after we get back from winter break which is starting on December 22nd and ending on Sunday January 7th, we have winter formal! This year’s formal theme is masquerade. Winter formal will be held on January 27th! However some rules to keep in mind for winter formal are no costumes, wear formal attire and most importantly although our theme is masquerade make sure that your mask is hand held and can be taken off.
To conclude, Pitman offers many exciting winter events that can help students to either enjoy their time, take a break from studying and help with the stress of finals. We hope that you choose to participate in these activities! Make sure to come out and support all of our winter sports as well in their amazing season and cheer them on.
