![Junior Ami Le walks next to her class float during the Homecoming football game. “After finishing [construction on] the whole [float], we loaded it onto a truck that we rented, and then our sponsor, Mr. Sarmiento just drove it around,” Le said.](https://www.tjtoday.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/IMG_1167-1200x800.jpg)
![During a dance to a mashup of “Wannabe” and “Vogue,” junior Mandy Huang, bottom middle, lifts her hands at the end, striking a pose with the other junior dancers. “At first, [MEX] was stressful because practices went by so quickly and it felt like I would never be able to memorize the choreography, but the choreographers were amazing,” Huang said. “When we were about halfway to Homecoming, turnout to practices was so low that one of our choreographers brought bomb pops to try and lure people back into MEX.”](https://www.tjtoday.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/IMG_3858-1-1200x800.jpg)
![Kai Bilal performs during the sophomores' MEX dance despite struggles with boys building interest and participation. "The initial demo seemed kind of hard," sophomore Zeerak Yusufi said.

![Justin Yoo (7) celebrates with his teammates moments after scoring his first touchdown of the game. On 2nd and 1, Yoo broke out for a 29-yard touchdown rush to give Jefferson the lead. “He [Justin] broke through 5 tackles and it genuinely deserves to go on SportsCenter,” senior kicker Joshua Park (13) said.](https://www.tjtoday.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Featured-photo-900x600.jpg)
