Spirit Week! - Oct 5-9.
Monday, October 5, 2015 was the kickoff of Beacon Hills High School Spirit Week, in preparation for Homecoming — today's theme is: Homecoming Dance: Superheroes! Homecoming is a time to celebrate the school you’re attending - and, after you’ve graduated, it’s a time to go back (or “come home”) to your town and the campus, see old friends, and reminisce about your school days. Homecoming usually centers around a football game, but schools have been known to have homecoming basketball, soccer or even hockey games. It’s an annual tradition for most American high schools and the celebrations generally start within the school on Monday and last all the way through the weekend when the alumni show up, and end with a dance. A homecoming dance is just for the students of the school, and it usually occurs on the Friday or Saturday night after Spirit Week (depending, of course, on when the big game is!) It’s usually open to every student no matter what grade they’re in. Some schools keep it casual, while others make it a semi-formal affair. There’s always a DJ or a band, but the venue is up to the school- sometimes it’s in the gym or cafeteria, and other times it’s at an outside venue. Whether or not you bring a date to your homecoming dance is up to you. Every school has its own customs. Some schools use it as a chance to have a special night with your boyfriend, girlfriend or crush. Others schools reserve prom for the big “date dance,” and leave homecoming as the “go with your friends” dance. Either way, a homecoming dance is a time for the entire school to come together and party! The photography club will be taking pictures of students throughout the dance and these pictures will be posted to the high school yearbook, and perhaps may even make a reappearance during the end of the year prom slideshow. Dress to impress, have fun, and most of all: embody spirit! Mod note: Please respond to prompts on the posted entry so as not to create multiple threads of the same event. You are more than welcome to still do scenes outside of this prompt. |
