Bears came out in spirit to celebrate the end of the school year at this year’s paradise-themed spring rally on Friday afternoon. Decked out in tropical wear, leis, and bucket hats, the crowd enjoyed performances from the dance team, cheer team, and cultural performers. Students also participated in games, and this year’s 12th Man announced their picks for next year.
Junior Kealy Bryman kicked off the rally by singing the National Anthem. The cheer team then performed a flawless routine to “Crazy in Love” by Beyoncé and JAY-Z and “Promiscuous” by Nelly Furtado and Timberland in their last performance of the year.
To follow, Leadership gave shout-outs to the M-A STEM Fair winners, M-A scholar athletes, and the M-A Chronicle.
The dance team had an impressive last show. They performed energetically to songs like “S&M” by Rihanna and “Blood On My Hands” by Tate McRae. The partner dance, a longstanding dance team tradition, closed their portion of the rally.
M-A also hosted Casa Círculo Cultural, an art organization that performed Baile Folklorico, a traditional Mexican dance with big skirts that resemble flowers.
The 2025-26 12th Man was announced to end the rally. The new members include juniors Sophia Cole, Gabby Rothstein, Molly Gray, Luca Auer, Gianni Olivero, and Jerry Williams.
