Kicking off the week will be on Tuesday. Dress up with one of your friends for the Rhyme without a reason theme! Dress up as something that rhymes, a great example being Chads and Dads. Wednesday will be “Barbenheimer”. Dress up like a barbie character by wearing bright colors, or dress up in a suit for Oppenheimer! Thursday will be Anything But a Backpack day. While respecting the rules, by not bringing in anything alive, or bringing in anything that wouldn’t fit in an overhead airplane compartment.
Lastly, Friday will be class colors. Show your school spirit and dress for your grade! Freshman will be wearing white, Sophomores will be wearing gold, Juniors wear Maroon, and Seniors wear black! Friday there will also be a pep session held at the end of the school day, an abbreviated schedule for this day will be available. The homecoming parade will be at 4 pm on September 8. Clubs and organizations are welcome to participate in the parade but must contact Mr. Tenbarge or Mr. Potter.
