Homecoming week continues as excitement grows among students and staff for the hectic, yet thrilling week. Leadership students work hard to accomplish a fun experience for all students, rallying school spirit. Each class receives spirit points based on their participation, while the grade with the most points wins a pizza party. This year’s theme is ‘Dreaming through the Decades!’ 

High school students arrived at school “letting the dogs out” for Toes-Day Tuesday, Sept. 20. Following the homecoming themes assigned by FC leadership, students wore sandals or open-toed shoes to show school spirit as well as compete against other classes. 

Natalie Sullivan, ‘25, is most excited for tomorrow’s mismatched day, which has been a common dress up day for homecoming weeks. 

“I am definitely most excited for Wacky Wednesday,” Sullivan said. “I am going all out!”

Each class earns points based on dress-up day participation. Today ended with the seniors in first place, having earned 200 points for the week so far. Juniors and sophomores are tied with 125 points, and freshmen fall behind with 50. Earn points for Wacky Wednesday tomorrow by dressing in a mismatched outfit or doing something crazy with your hair.
