There have been rumors of a dance this December, but are they true? They are! The PTSA is in charge of the dance, and it will be called “Winter Wonderland.”
Senior Class President McKenna Charles and member of the PTSA says:
The purpose of red ribbon week is to promote our status of being drug and violence free. The assembly on November 9 kicked off the start of many activities provided by this promotion. Eric Aroca shared his inspiration, along with humor, while speaking at the Monday assembly. The main topic that he spoke about was learning to be positive and respect yourself.
Payson High School’s Cheer and Drill team is the heart and soul of our school spirit. The cheer team is the reason that the student section is as exciting as possible. Also the Paysetters keep the crowd excited during halftime with their amazing performance. Both cheer and drill keep the crowd pumped even through cold football games. They perceiver through the cold so they can give a great performance.
