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
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.
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.
Homecoming Rally
Friday, October 9th 1:40pm. Students will
report to the gym. We will start in the gym and then head to the football
field, or stay in the gym if it’s nasty outside. We will start the Pep Rally.
The FB team will 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 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.
