📣 Mustang spirit was in full force this morning at Westwood Elementary and Bales Intermediate for their Hometown Hero Pep Rallies!
Friendswood High School students kicked off the morning by greeting students at arrival before the drumline, Wranglerettes, cheer, and athletes brought the energy to the pep rallies! Along the way, they shared a message about confidence, positive thinking, and believing in yourself.
For some of our high school students, the morning was also a full-circle moment as they returned to the same schools they once attended, this time as role models for the next generation of Mustangs. 💙🤍
