From there followed a dance battle between all four grades, with the freshman class taking the trophy for the best dancing.

The cheerleaders then came down to the floor and performed their routine, segueing into the introduction of the girl’s volleyball team, the swim team, and the football team.

The pep rally concluded with the Student Council and the marching band leading the crowd in singing RNE’s alma mater.
