The Traditions Courtyard was boisterous with a chorus of students cheering, “I believe that we will merit!” Now in its second year, the PSAT Pep Rally officially became a Carrollton and Banks tradition. The occasion was also marked by the student council tossing No. 2 pencils, “Thinking Caps,” and Smarties to get the student’s minds right for the school-wide Wednesday testing day. Senior Bradley Fugetta ended the pep rally by karate chopping a stack of scantrons to the delight of the student body. The PSAT Warrior-hopefuls in the junior class aim to win the battle today against the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test.
