What is Sports-a-rama? Ask any ML Alum after 1984 about Sports-A-Rama and you will get stories! It is an athletic, artistic, performance and multi-class competition that all Mira Loma students are invited to participate in or attend every spring!
Sports-A-Rama La Sierra High School, the brainchild of Doug Woodard, the activities director at La Sierra High School. Some of the activities that he saw working as a director e inspired him to come up with a much bigger idea: to create an event that would increase school spirit by involving all 4 classes competing in a dozen or more activities. Then in 1983, La Sierra was closed. The La Sierra HS juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen brought this low-key S-A-R idea with them when they transferred to Mira Lomaand ML improved it by adding Penny Wars, a class T-shirt Art Competition, and by including any & all interested students from each class as participants in at least one event or more. Now it is common to see a sea students from each year’s class compete in a variety of events against each other. What about those students who don’t participate? They become the roaring masses of spectators who are joined by Alumni the parents & staff who fill the gym to capacity. Sports-A-Rama is Mira Loma’s highest attended and most anticipated event of the school year.
