Homecoming is quickly approaching, and this is one of Student Council’s busiest times of the academic year. Student Council is in charge of the homecoming dance/court events, ticket sales, decorations, posters, and spirit week.
Tomorrow, the homecoming festivities kick off with an assembly for the BHS faculty and students to meet the Homecoming Court. Each court member will be introduced and asked some questions in order for the student body to know the candidates better before casting their votes next week for King and Queen.
Next week (October 11-15), spirit week begins with the following schedule:
*Monday – Pajama Day
*Tuesday – Twin Day
*Wednesday – Decades Day
*Thursday – Color Wars
*Friday – Blue/Gold Day
The grade level colors for next Thursday’s color wars are Blue for 8th grade, Yellow for 9th grade, Orange for 10th grade, Red for 11th grade, and Purple for our beloved seniors.
There will also be a pep assembly the day before the homecoming dance (Friday, October 15) where the court will participate in Minute-To-Win-It games. The student body is encouraged to show as much school spirit as possible, to wear all Blue/Gold, and to bring a high-level of energy.
Later that night is the Homecoming football game against John Hay High School where the King and Queen will be announced. All alumni are encouraged to come back to join Hurricane Nation for the game and festivities.
Finally, on Saturday (October 16), the homecoming dance will take place with a theme of “A Night Under the Stars”. The dance, weather-permitting, will take place at the Coach Jerry Younger Field from 7:00-10:00 p.m.
If you are wondering where to purchase homecoming tickets, they will be on sale in the high school cafeteria during all lunch periods from now until October 15.
Good luck to the Homecoming Court.
Go Canes!
