[color=#C0392B]Your homeroom teacher, Mrs. Wiley, asks that everyone quiet down as static sounds off from the speaker up in the corner of the room above the door. The room itself falls silent and a single voice can be heard filling each and every room on campus. Retired Marine, current Head Principle at Delbrook, Mr. Jack McGregor.[/color] [b]"Hello students, staff.. new and old. Welcome. If you would do me a great honor, and stand from your seats, placing your hand over your heart and repeat the Pledge of Allegiance with me? It's fine if you don't want to say it, I understand your disconcerts, but it would please me greatly if those of you who don't at least stand with the rest of us."[/b] [color=#C0392B]He gives everyone a few moments before continuing to recite the Pledge, giving another short couple of moments before starting off with his First Day Announcements.[/color] [b]"Today, students, you have made it to your first class. Homeroom. Turn to the people beside you and introduce yourself if you haven't already, because this class will be seeing you every day 5 times a week till the end of our school year. This will be the only class you will be seeing on a daily basis unless we have GREEN Days, which are just what we call our minimum days. Green is a go!"[/b] [color=#C0392B]McGregor chuckles lightly, clearing his throat.[/color] [b]"There will be an assembly, which each and every one of you will be attending before we can turn you over to the festivities that I'm sure you're all aware of that wait for you out on the turf. Before I go, I just want to give a quick appreciative shout out to out school's teachers, cafeteria workers, the custodial staff, the parent volunteers, and secretaries. Without you all, this wouldn't be possible. For you students, please enjoy your day here today at Delbrook Academy High. I wish you all the best in this new year. Make the most of it. Thank you."[/b] [color=#C0392B]The speaker cuts out and Mrs. Wiley asks that you all get into a single-file line, once the class has done so, she takes you to the auditorium where you sit through an hour-long pep talk from the school's Vice Principal, Ms. Bauer about how she imagines the school year to run. At the end of the assembly, the VP turns you back over to your teacher who leads you out to the football field and sets you free to your own devices. The field is littered with booths upon booths, almost the equivalent to a carnival except all that's missing is the Ferris Wheel.[/color]
