🎀💗 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐏𝐄𝐏 𝐑𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘: 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 & 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐬!💗🎀

What a way to wrap up our final pep rally of the year! Our Vela Panthers brought the energy, the spirit, and plenty of smiles as we cheered on our teams and enjoyed an unforgettable Mascot Dance-Off!

But beyond the fun and excitement, today’s Pink Out Pep Rally was about something much more meaningful: honoring and celebrating breast cancer survivors during the month of October.

We are incredibly proud to recognize three amazing members of our Vela family who have shown strength, courage, and perseverance throughout their journeys:

💗 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐳
💗 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐚 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲
💗 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐨𝐱𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭

Thank you for allowing us to celebrate YOU and the strength you represent in our Vela community. Your stories remind us of the importance of hope, courage, and supporting one another.

From the cheers in the stands to the pink worn throughout our campus, our Panthers showed that when we come together, we can celebrate something bigger than ourselves.

Thank you, Vela Panthers, for making our final pep rally of the year one to remember!
