In early October, it is easy to lose track of time with spooky season, pumpkins, and Fall colors. The first full week of this month seems to be flying by, which means that Halloween will soon be upon us. But before Trick-or-Treat, a homecoming recap is in order.
During last Friday’s pep rally, the homecoming court candidates participated in a “Court Feud,” where they answered questions in front of the student body. It was fun, energetic, and competitive. Later on, the senior class was awarded a trophy for the best school spirit. A big shout-out to Mrs. Bader for organizing this rally as it was great entertainment for all.
Additionally, the seniors gathered together and enjoyed the annual senior luncheon. This event featured a photo booth along with a very good spread. A special thank you to Mrs. Holko and the senior parents who made this tradition possible.
Later that evening, the varsity football team had a hard-fought game against the Independence Blue Devils, unfortunately resulting in a defeat. However, the homecoming crowd was awesome. A big shout-out to everyone who showed up to support the football and cheer teams, as well as the band and Hurricettes.
The main moment of the evening, though, was the announcement of this year’s homecoming king and queen. Prior to kickoff, the announcement was made. Congratulations to Jayden Chin and Nicolle Thomas for winning each crown!
Finally, last Saturday evening, BHS held its annual homecoming dance. Full of pictures, music, refreshments, and snow cones, students enjoyed their time with friends, and seniors had their traditional senior circle at the very end. Once again, a big thank you to Mrs. Bader for organizing this year’s dance, and a special thank you to those who decorated the cafeteria according to the theme of “A Night at the Bayou”.
The 2025 homecoming festivities are officially in the books, and this year was definitely a week to remember for all who participated.
