Youth Volleyball
Opportunities in Genesee
The Varnish Juniors Volleyball Club here in Genesee would like 3-8
grade girls and parents to know that we are planning to have both a U12 (for
girls in 5-6 grades) and a U14 (for girls in junior high) club volleyball team
this coming spring. We will also be hosting youth clinics for younger players
this winter. Informational and planning meetings will take place in early
November, so be on the look out for more information. In the meantime, if you
have any questions, please contact Pete Crowley, pcrowley@sd282.org.
**Let Everyone Play Day**
October 17 (Saturday) at 11:00: Rachel Bechtel has
organized Let Everyone Play Day, a community-wide baseball game for people of
all ages and abilities at Bear Field in Moscow. Last year many of the players
were confined to wheelchairs and the Moscow baseball team participated. This
year our school has been invited to participate. Everyone is invited to play or
be a spectator and there will be two games with a free barbecue in between.
Mrs. Bardwell will drive the white bus up if someone needs transportation.

the food is gone. Prices are $5 for adults and $3 for children 12 and

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
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 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.
