The Renaissance Club. of Kings
Mountain High School held pep rallies

reward students for academic excel-
lence.
The pep rally is an Ophothinity to
allow students recognition of
improved or outstanding grades. In
Renaissance “we like to cheer for those
Renaissance sponsor Gay Henderson.
“Renaissance is a program that rec-
ognizes, rewards, and reinforces aca-
demic efforts,” explains Henderson.
Many of the rewards and incentives
are donated by local businesses or pro-
duced by the students, such as the pep
rally.
Tyler Maxey, a host in last week's
pep rally, is one of these students.
“It's awesome to see what we stu-
dents can achieve. Getting out of class
and mixing in a little humor makes
this worthwhile,” he said.
The pep rally is headed up by Dan
Potter and produced by students in his
leadership class.
Skits included in the pep rally were
“KM Idol,” a derivative of the hit TV
show “American Idol” and a modified
version of “Fifteen Seconds of Fame.”
Academic awards included perfect
attendance, greatest jump in GPA,
highest GPA, and scholar athletes.
Mountie pride and academic excellence
go hand in hand.

State Representative Andy Dedmon believes working families should have the
right to accessible, affordable and quality health care. That’s why he has sup-
port major legislation giving patients more rights and greater choices i in their
health care coverage.
Andy Dedmon supported legislation that gives you more choices and allows
you to pick your own doctors.
“There are nearly 1.5 million North Carolinians who don’t have access to health
care coverage. That's wrong. If a criminal has the right to see an attorney,
working families should be able to see a doctor. North Carolina’s blue collar
families need to have access to affordable, quality health care.”
State Representative Andy Dedmon supported legislation to provide health
care coverage for North Carolina’s uninsured children. Now he’s ready to go to
work to make sure working families have access to health care coverage.
“Visiting the emergency room shouldn’t be the only health care many children
and parents receive in Cleveland County and across North Carolina. I'll work to
make sure our working families can get the health care coverage they need.”
