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
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
Vote on October 8, Thursday at Lunch. High School Only!
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.
