We don’t feel bad for winning when it really matters. We continue to exceed expectations. We won’t apologize for attempting to tackle Mr. Kohring at the Homecoming Assembly scavenger hunt to try and steal his hat. WE LIVE IN THE MOMENT. We have no shame for all the embarrassing posts we’ve made of our friends. We would post those bad parking and sleeping-in-class pics all over again. WE’VE MADE LASTING BONDS. It was worth it, the phoneless afternoon and week of lunch with Ms. Barrett to sneak our phones out in class when our BeReal went off. WE’RE BOLD. SLIGHTLY REBELLIOUS. REAL. We aren’t saying sorry for crushing Canyon Ridge 32-7 at the Service Bowl, adding another W to our record. We will continue to be loud and celebrate a win that took us to the second round of playoffs. WE’RE UNDENIABLE. OUR SPIRIT WILL ALWAYS BE UNMATCHED. IT‘S JUST WHO WE ARE. WE‘RE BRUINS, AND WE AREN‘T GOING TO APOLOGIZE FOR IT. LOUD. PROUD. WE ARE UNAPOLOGETICALLY US.
