This year’s Fall Fest at Northridge Academy High School was filled with music, sugar, and diversity. Students had a lot of fun choosing between different foods and activities, and enjoyed beautiful performances of NAHS’ graceful dancers. The event was designed to bring together various clubs, showcase their involvement, and recruit new members.
Students’ parents and the faculty had many places to rest: from the many seats right in front of the Main Stage, to the back, where many clubs showed their creativity and capabilities. Parents came to cheer up their kids, as well as to support the school financially by purchasing food, drinks, activities, and games from various clubs. Even though this year’s Fall Fest is much less noisy, it was certainly more cozy and allowed each and every club to do whatever their hearts desired.
A sweet highlight to this year’s Festival is the variety of offered sweets, as some students have noticed. “There are way more sweets than there were last year”, said Donan Breanna – a junior student, who was fascinated by the number of Clubs that showed up at the Fall Fest. In contrast to the sugary overload many cubs offered delicious drinks, such as Agua de Limón con Chía and Horchata, various kinds of sodas, and classic water. This combination helped many people to get through the night, making it feel shorter and decorating the mob clusters with warm and excited smiles.
Besides the food, the night was decorated with beautiful dresses and graceful movements of the dancers that performed for the school visitors that night. Many parents cheered and recorded the performance, to cheer up their kids, or to capture this moment and keep the Puma Pride in their memories for a bit longer than a day. The dances were bright and energetic, with an aura the same as the girls’ dresses – bright, wavy, and courageous.
This year’s Fall Fest is going to be memorable for a lot of people. For some – it’s because of the moths worth of practice. For others – for the gleeful smiles of their friends, parents, and close ones. And for NAHS it’s one of the many steps to show unity, participation, and support for the various communities of our school. But this isn’t it for this school semester. The next event is giving a strong claim, and sets the stakes high. The whole school is getting ready and staying tuned for “December to remember”. See you there, Pumas!
