Homecoming

I have been asked on several occasions why the middle school does not participate more during homecoming week.

My answer is simple. Homecoming is a high school/ community event. I believe if the middle school were to have spirit week, etc. like the high school we would be taking away from some of the fun students can look forward to when they get to high school.

We do celebrate homecoming on Friday with a spirit day in which students can wear green and white clothes and show their spirit at the parade and at the game. We do prohibit students from painting their faces or dying their hair on school grounds, and would prefer that they not wear Mardi Gras beads, as the meaning of Mardi Gras beads is not one we choose to support.

I appreciate your understanding and consideration of these philosophies.
