Students are busy planning, prepping, and painting; Homecoming is next week! This is always one of our favorite times of year and we are looking forward to all of the traditions that we will share with the whole school. 

Next week's schedule is as follows: 

Monday: Spirit Theme is Pajama Day
Tuesday: Spirit Theme is Meme Day
Wednesday: Spirit Theme is Red/White (9th &11th dress in white, 10th and 12th dress in red) - The Red & White game will be at 12:30pm.
Thursday: Spirit Theme is “Dress as Adam Sandler” / Hall Night 4pm - 8pm (Attendance Required)
Friday: Dress for Halls (9th = Rock, 10th = 80s, 11th = 70s/Disco, 12th = country), Spirit wear for the evening games.

Students will not be allowed to leave campus during Hall Night; once they leave campus they are not allowed to return. There have been sign-ups shared by parents in each graduating class for snacks, dinner, and drinks for Hall Night. Please let us know if you have not received the Hall Night sign up document for your student. 

Students will have an abbreviated schedule on Friday in order to make time for the touring of the hall, the Pep Rally, and Homecoming videos. They will receive an email early next week with any schedule adjustments and other information. 

Homecoming games begin at 6pm on Friday evening with Varsity Girls Basketball and the Homecoming Court presentation will be at halftime of the Boys game. 

The Homecoming Dance is at 8pm, next Saturday (2/1). Students who planned on bringing a guest from another school should have turned in their permission form earlier this week. The Homecoming Dance theme is “A Night in Paris.” Students will not be allowed to leave the dance once they are dropped off/arrive. If a student decides to leave the dance early, they will not be allowed to re-enter. 

Please let us know if you have any questions about Homecoming, the games, or any other events next week. We cannot wait to celebrate with you all! 

With Gratitude,
Jillian and Amanda
