Photographers needed!
The
Yearbook needs students to take pictures for the upcoming volleyball
and football games in October. Right now, we only have a few football and volleyball pictures. If students do not
volunteer to take pictures, there will be no pages for these sports in
this year's book. The Yearbook is only as good as the students who make it. Please see Mr.
Barham for information on taking pictures.
GHS Homecoming 2012, October 15-20
Theme: “Spirit Lives On”
We
are encouraging all 7-12 students to become actively involved in their
school spirit by attending the VB and FB games our teams play in,
participating in the dress up days, decorating your class hall, and the
Homecoming Football game. We want HS students to attend the Homecoming
Dance too. Genesee’s own Thomas Hubbard will be DJing for your dancing
pleasure. Homecoming song request list is in the Commons. Not only
should this be a fun time to bond with your classmates, but show great
support for your school and develop some great school spirit. This is
both a fun and important week in school sports.
This year classes
will earn “spirit” points by attending games, decorating their hall,
participation in the dress-up days, and minute-to-win-it games. The team
with the most points will earn a special award that they will receive
after the Homecoming week is over. The breakdown of points will be as
follows:
Game attendance—1 point per class member present
for the game or match. Mr. C will count students or designate another
staff member to do so. Games of attendance will be
District VB game(s), the JH VB match against Deary, and the Homecoming game itself.
Dress up days—1
point per student appropriately dressed for the day’s theme. Additional
points may be awarded to students who really capture the spirit! Pep
Rally participation and class games. Classes will earn points for each
of these activities at the pep rally.
Hallway Decorations—classes
will be awarded points for their decorative efforts in relationship to
the Spirit theme. Mr. Caldwell will announce the winning class at
halftime of the Homecoming game.

and welcome everyone. Then we will have the FB team take on the VB team
in a VB match like last year. Once the match is over we will head down
to the field for the rest of the rally (or stay in the gym if it’s
raining). Once we’re down at the field we will have Class cheers and
