Party for the Untardy

On Friday, February 12, the no tardy party was held in the SJHS cafetorium during seventh period. Students enjoyed the final moments of the school day eating pizza, singing karaoke, conversing with one another, and overall just living the good life. 

The no tardy party is a special activity reserved for students who went all term without a tardy. According to Mr. Rowley, the assistant principal at SJHS, no tardies are a big deal and something to celebrate. No one can argue otherwise! To celebrate their huge milestone, students gather in the cafetorium and for a party. 

“It’s pretty legit!” Macarthur Reilly, a ninth grader at SJHS said. “You get to skip class.” Macarthur enjoys the no tardy party because there is pizza there. Pizza is a very convincing factor to strive for no tardies! 

Mr. Rowley also loves it because it is a way to reward great students. “I love any way to recognize the great things our students achieve,” Mr. Rowley said. “About two thirds of our students attend the party.” 

The no tardy party is a great way to reward students for the great accomplishment of no tardies, and students should strive for the goal.
