GHS Homecoming 2015
Theme: “Show Your
Bulldog Spirit”
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. 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 a fun week, but an 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 the pep rally 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. Caldwell will count students or
designate another staff member to do so. Games of attendance will be: VB
vs. Prairie 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 catch 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.
Dress Up Days
Monday— Redneck/’Merica Day— Dress up in your finest ‘merican
attire and show your redneck pride
Tuesday—Hawaiian Day— Show your Aloha spirit, keep it classy
Genesee
Wednesday—Superhero Day—Dress
up like your favorite superhero
Thursday— Generation
Day—Seniors dress up as senior citizens, Juniors as parents, Sophomores as
college students, Freshman as elementary students and JH as babies or toddlers.
Friday--Blue & Gold Day—FB
Players in jerseys, VB player in jersey tops, both HS and JH students. Cheer
squad in uniforms and everyone else in bulldog blue, gold and white!
It goes without
saying, but please remind students to be tasteful and appropriate with the
dress-up days. We know it will be a little distracting, but we want it to be
fun, and inappropriate actions or dress detracts from the fun.
Hall decorations:
Seniors—Commons, Juniors— Hallway by Locker rooms, Sophomores—Foyer
by Auxiliary Gym, Freshman—Hallway by Hanson & Tilleman and Junior
High the hallway/balcony area by their lockers. Please follow
guidelines below or your class may be disqualified from the week’s competition
and decorations removed immediately
Hall Decoration
Guidelines
1) Try to use the
clips and tack boards to affix posters to the walls. If you must use
tape, masking tape is the only tape you are allowed to use. The BLUE masking
tape is the best choice. Safety is top priority. Please do not cover
light fixtures, doors or windows. Walkways must be free of decorations and all
entryways accessible. If you want to plug something in please be sure to keep
cords on the side of the hallway and unplug at the end of each day.
2) Incorporating the
theme into your decorations is desired, but not required. Ideas should promote
positive, uplifting behavior, which exhibits good sportsmanship and good
judgment. There should not be any derogatory comments or implications, simply
have fun promoting school spirit!
3) Decorating can
begin on anytime this Sunday or next Monday that works with the advisor’s
schedule. Your class advisor must be present, so please arrange time to
decorate with them. We want all decorations up by Tuesday morning so we can
enjoy them for the week as well as the judging. Decorations must be
cleaned up by Friday 5pm.
4) Students need to be
respectful of other classes and leave each other s decorations alone. We hope
this won’t be an issue, because we don’t want to have to take spirit points
away. Last year was awesome, and we hope to continue in that tradition.
Homecoming Royalty
ASB Officers will
assist in distributing the list of names for nominees. Cierra & Kaleigh
will distribute and collect nominating sheets during 3rd hour Monday
to decide the royalty candidates. Grades 9-12 will vote to nominate 4 boys and
4 girls for the Homecoming Court. The top 4 vote-getters will become the court
and decide who is escorting who. Girls and guys will make arrangements through
Mr. Caldwell for drivers (over the age of 21) and their ride. Voting for the
King and Queen will take place Thursday 10/8 during lunch. Mr. Caldwell will
man the voting table. Mr. Caldwell will count the ballots and Mrs. DeRoche will
verify the vote.

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 competition, other activities TBA. We will
have cheers led by the cheerleaders, introductions of the teams, and great
class competitions. We’ll finish up the Rally with the Band playing the FIGHT
SONG.
