| Go Team Red! |
Today was a pretty bid deal...Team Red and Blue Initiation Day at Buckley. This decides our family (and future family members) team colors F-O-R-E-V-E-R. It took place in the gym. First graders (the year students are assigned a color) arrived first and sat in the center. Then Grades 2-8 arrived. Team Blue sat to my right (I was facing the stage) and Team Red sat to my left. Buckley's Athletic Director and Director of Diversity, Mr. Roney Eford, kicked off the event with an introduction of captains by grade. Then it was time. Two Team Red captains held up a red hoola hoop. Two Team Blue captains held up a blue hoola hoop. Then names were called by grade, ladies first. After about 4-5 names, Lauren was called up, she walked through the hoop, received her red bracelet, took off her blue bead necklace (left her red one on of course) and joined Team Red. The teams were then required to come up with a "festive" cheer. The winner will be awarded 50 points. I couldn't stay for that so I told Lauren I would pick her up at 2 and went back home. What an incredible tradition dating back to 1938.
