Charter’s Homecoming Recap

   The day that marked the start of November also recognized the beginning of Spirit Week. Dynamic Duo‒or Twin Day to some Jags‒had students come dressed as their favorite duo or group. As soon as one stepped paw on campus that Monday, they found the Spongebob to their Patrick, the Mario to their Luigi, the Tom to their Jerry.     Coralie Richardson found the Joy, Sadness, and An...

   Costumes from the previous spirit day are tucked away as leopard print, striped, fluffy and countless other wild animal themed clothes make appearances. Two steps out of the car and a giraffe onesie can be seen off in the distance, extending into the courtyard. Bunny ears, whiskers and smiling faces. . .    “Call of the Jags” day two of spirit week begins.    Following Hallowe...

Students represented Pines Charter by wearing their older siblings' clothes, many kids on top of that put burgundy and white paint on their faces and body to represent the...

  As the sun went down, the Jaguar spirit rose. Charter’s first pep rally in two years was finally happening. As final preparations were put in place by sports teams, clubs and SGA themselves, the pieces had finally fallen into place. Months of hard work, sweat, and tears let out with one goal in mind: returning pep rally to its full glory. In the eyes of many, this goal was certainly accomp...

   Satin dresses, high heels, suits and ties fill the courtyard with a new essence, embracing a different look than what students are accustomed to seeing.

Now draped in shi...
