On November 22, 2023, Kirkwood held their annual pep assembly for their turkey day game against Webster Groves. All throughout the pep rally, there was music, dance, skits, and lots of energy piping through the crowd. C0nnor McManamon, sophomore, shares his thoughts about the pep rally.
“[My favorite part of the pep rally was] playing with the band,” McManamon says, “and seeing all the alumnus join the pommies”
Connor McManamon, sophomore, and Addie Craft, sophomore, play their instruments.

"A friend of mine's son was sick, and we knew he wasn't going to make it. I made a handful of these little smiles, [and gave it to the family.] I said maybe you can hold on to [them] until you get your smile back. [The family] said 'it would be very selfish if I didn't tell you to do this for other people.'"
