GHS Homecoming 2011

Theme: “It’s Still About Spirit”

We are encouraging all 7-12 students to become actively involved in their school spirit by attending the VB game on Tuesday, participating in the dress up days, decorating your class hall, and attending the Homecoming Football game. We want HS students to attend the Homecoming Dance too. Genesee’s own Steven Cox will be DJing for your dancing pleasure. 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. Not only is 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 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 VB on Tuesday 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.
