Reminder next week is Homecoming -
Homecoming Theme: “Through the Years”
Dress Up Days:
• Monday: Recreate a Childhood Picture
• Tuesday: College/Career Day (where do you want to go/what do you want to do after high school)
• Wednesday: Dress like an “Old” Person (the interpretation of what old means/looks like can be left up to the kids 😊)
• Thursday: Walking Yearbook (wear a t shirt and bring a sharpie to sign each other’s shirts throughout the day)
*** The homecoming t shirt this year will be white and designed around this purpose (more information to come);
however, students are welcome to bring any t shirt that can be marked on. Administration has asked that shirts NOT be
worn while being signed. This means that students will need to have another shirt to wear any time signing is
happening. We would like the majority of students to bring their own sharpie for this, but student council will have
extras on hand to lend out to students that cannot obtain one.
• Friday: Forever Fan (trapper spirit day)
Needed - Bring empty feed sacks to Ms. Haberman's Ag Shop. They will be used to build the M for Homecoming.
