The junior class wears blue to represent its class color.
The final day of Homecoming week ended with two 90-minute pep rallies during seventh and eighth periods. Each session consisted of performances by the Jefferson cheer and dance teams, MEX performances by each class, the introduction to the members of football team and principal Evan Glazer’s annual Jeopardy game. The senior class won both best dressed male and female, and the best spirited class went to the juniors.

Her ribbon dance was inspired by the revered mythical creature and this year’s Chinese zodiac sign, the dragon. “My ribbon symbolized a dragon flying in the air. My outfit was [also] inspired by the dragon, the color was the same color as my ribbon, but on the shoulder there were some details like dragon scales,” Huang said. “I liked how there were a lot of people in the audience and it was just really fun to perform.”](https://www.tjtoday.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_0964-1-600x387.jpg)
