Homecoming Week at CHS

     
     Next week, Chadron High School will participate in Homecoming festivities put on by student council to celebrate school spirit.

     According to Rachel Girard, Student Council sponsor, Homecoming week will consist of the following dress-up days.  Monday will be Awkward Family Photo Day.  "You can either dress in an ugly sweater or as the one who stands out in a family picture," says Girard.  Tuesday is Duo Day, where you dress up as a famous pair with a partner.  On Wednesday, students will dress as their favorite superhero or villain, such as Iron man or Cruella De Vil.  According to Girard, Thursday is throwback day, where you dress as someone from your favorite decade.  Friday will be spirit day, where you sport the school's colors in preparation for the Homecoming game that evening.

     On Monday night, after the junior varsity football game, there is going to be a bonfire in the back parking lot.  Girard stated, the band has been invited to play and the dance team will give a short performance.  Following the burning of the "C," the football players' jersey auction will take place in the gym.

     "The pep rally is going to be a great time!" says Student Council representative Claire Margetts.  On Friday afternoon there will be a pep rally in the gym to get the student body excited for the Homecoming game that evening.  According to Margetts, there is going to be a competition between the sports teams with multiple rounds.  The activities will consist of things like a lip synch battle and minute-to-win-it games. Following the pep rally, Girard stated that the Chadron High football team will play against Chase County at 6 p.m.

     To bring the Homecoming festivities to an end, there will be a Homecoming dance in the high school commons Saturday evening from nine to midnight.  The theme this year is black, gold, and white. "The decorations should be some of our best yet," says Margetts.  
     The dress is semi-casual and admission will be $5 per person at the door.
