The 2009 Royal Court

Homecoming Week started off with the annual class poster contest. Each class had to create a sign for the gym with a comic strip theme. The winning class was the Freshmen with the Road Runner.

Monday began Spirit Days. Students dressed up in various outfits to celebrate the week and were allowed a treat for each day. Monday ended up being "Dress Up Day" because it was Picture Day. Tuesday was "Neon Day" and the winner was Caitlin. Wednesday "Toga Day" winners were Nathan, Linsey and Paula. Best dressed for Thursday's "Twin Day" were Sam and Jessica, Mrs Zwingman and Mrs. Thiele-Blecher. And finishing up for Friday the traditional "Orange and Black Day" the winners were Allen and Carlie.

Coronation took place Thursday night with Sam and Andrew crowned the Queen and King. The Coronation was followed by the Bonfire at the football field. Friday saw the Parade and Pep Rally downtown. The week ended with the Volleyball and Football games. It was a clean sweep for the volleyball and football teams with everyone winning their games. Click on the slideshows to see the week's fun.
