Homecoming

Even though I'm not coaching this year, I'm still very busy at school.  I joke that I stopped coaching and started sponsoring 11th grade SGA & Mock Trial, leading our Civics PLC, and working in a group of teachers that lead trainings on technology/MacBooks... and I still sponsor a club called Elevate.  Not sure that I traded a busy 1st year with a less busy 2nd year, but I'm still having fun!

As all teachers know, the craziest week at school is homecoming week - a week that I love as the former most spirited Senior girl of SCHS, but stress over as a teacher.  Our spirit days included Wacky Tacky day, Superhero/Villians day, Neon Colors day, Team day, and Spirit day.  I should've taken pictures, but I didn't.

This year, SGA sponsored the first ever Sadie Hawkins Homecoming dance and it was a huge success!  We had it in the cafeteria - something that many teachers/students had reservations about (including me!), but after hours of preparation, it looked like a totally different place.  This was the best picture I got, but the food table & dance floor was pretty great as well!  The students had nothing but great things to say about it!

We hosted the annual homecoming carnival before the game, and this year Elevate & SGA sponsored a BMX show.  It was a pretty fun addition to the carnival!

SGA had a big blow up hit-your-friends-with-a-heavy-padded-stick-thing and let me just tell you that it is WAY harder than it looks.  That is probably my one and only good blow to Victoria (awesome friend and coworker)... but don't be too alarmed, she ended up beating me.  We may or may not have taken a couple of time outs to recuperate.

Oh Friday night lights...  

Do you ever attend your high school's homecoming?  What are your favorite homecoming traditions?  What awesome spirit days can you share?
