`Micahla Akers
Authentic Task Speech
Thank you, Isaiah.
Hello, my name is Micahla Akers and I covered the interview section of our presentation. Since we chose school spirit, we interviewed Mrs. Braxton, SGA facilitator, and Ms. McCandless, guidance counselor and link crew advisor. Mrs. Braxton organizes the pep rallies for our school. We thought having more pep rallies could increase school morale. She agreed we need more student involvement. We learned that there was no way we could fit in more pep rallies, but we could start out-of-school activities and fundraisers. Students can also join SGA and come up with new activities for pep rallies.
Our next interview was with Ms. McCandless.

Ms. McCandless fully agreed our school needs more spirit. She told us we need to find ways to incorporate spirit throughout the student body, other than athletes and the marching band. Organizing fundraisers, bake sales, car washes, and concessions can also raise money to improve the schools appearance.
There are many solutions to our schools lack of spirit, and Brieana Taylor will be presenting those. Thank you.
