Spirit Week and Homecoming

Just looking at the calendar you will see that this week is Homecoming! That means Spirit Week festivities, homecoming football game, and the dance on Saturday Night. Spirit Week is always fun to have the grades compete against each other. The competition takes place in 1st period where teacher will count the number of students dressed in the appropriate Spirit Week attire. Each day is celebrated with a different type of outfit as follows:
  • Monday: "Monochromatic Day" - dress all in one color
  • Tuesday: "Tacky Tourist Day" - Bermuda shorts, Hawaiian shirts, and your Polaroid Camera
  • Wednesday: "Favorite Movie Character Day" - Harry Potter, Edward Cullen, Alvin and the Chipmunks?
  • Thursday: "Nerd Day" - I'm thinking Steve Urkel?
  • Friday: "Green Out Day" - Show your support for the Pride football team by wearing your Leesville Green!

But this also means that there will be a Homecoming Football game on Friday at Marshall Hamilton Stadium (LRHS) as the Pride takes on Wakefield, the game is set to kick off at 7pm. In addition, homecoming queen will be crowned before the game, so be early!

And that's not all. Look for festivities throughout the week, like the first annual Community Night. From Mr. Lyons' phone message, 28 September 2010:

"Leesville Road High School is proud to hold our first annual community night on Thursday, October 7 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. There will be a barbecue dinner served at 6:00; carnival booths such as a dunk tank, pie-a-teacher, face painting, and pictures with the mascot; and Powderpuff games. Tickets cost $8 and the food is included in the price. Tickets must be purchased in advance. They will be sold this week on Wednesday and Thursday September 29th and 30th during lunches and Thursday, September 30th after school from 2:30 – 3:00. Please come out and join us for a great night!"

There will also be a faculty v. student volleyball game during the week. The fun wraps up Saturday night at LRHS with the Homecoming Dance from 7 - 11 pm. Bring a date, friend, or a group, or come alone. But anyway you do, it is sure to be a good time.

This week will be a lot of fun, so come out and enjoy the festivities!
