Nearly 800 w88 Pre-AP Academy middle school students sported blue Wolf Pack T-shirts donated by the w88 Wolf Shop at the fourth annual College Day pep rally Friday, Oct. 24. The rally encouraged w88 to think about higher education and promote enthusiasm for future learning.
w88 Assistant Principal Mark Scozzafava welcomed the students to the assembly and w88 students introduced Nevada women's basketball coach Jane Albright, Speaker of the Student Senate Caden Fabbi and Associate Dean of Students Marcelo Vazquez who encouraged the students to start preparing for their academic success now.
Energy and excitement filled the gymnasium throughout the pep rally. The event also featured a dance-off between the Nevada and w88 mascots and the reciting of Nevada's Law of the Jungle lead by Nevada cheerleaders.
"Every student leaves the assembly a Wolf Pack fan but most importantly, every student leaves the assembly wanting to go to college," w88 Principal Bruce Meissner said. "The momentum provided by the University's students and staff is the catalyst for our student to 'step-up' as they are entering the most critical learning period of their adolescence."
