Homecoming week at Saint Bernard’s is one of the most exciting times of the year and it is this week. During this time Saint Bernard’s has decorative hallways, dress up days every week, a rally, the voting of royalty, various homecoming games, a carnival, a bonfire, and — of course — a dance! The homecoming theme this year is all about music. Saint Bernard’s is trying to get as much participation as possible, whether it is from students, prospective students, teachers, parents, alumni, or friends. ASB President Cole Petrusha said, “We are inviting everyone to come; it is a guaranteed good time!”
There will be twelve nominees for king and queen, six boys and six girls. Each grade, the ASB class, and faculty gets to nominate a pair.
On Sunday, October 6th, students decorated the hallways. Each class has a genre to portray. The seniors are in charge of reggae; the juniors, country; the sophomores, rock; and the freshmen, rap. Students will dress up according to the style of each genre, starting with country on Monday, then rap on Tuesday, rock on Wednesday, and Friday we will dress up in reggae or pink for Breast Cancer Awareness month. (Thursday will be mass dress because we have a prayer service.)
“I am most excited for Friday!” said an eighth grade girl. The football game, revealing of the royalty, the carnival, and the bonfire will all be on Friday October 11th. After school on Friday the football game will start and soon after that we will have the carnival. The carnival will consist of four exciting games, there will be a dunk tank, an obstacle course, bungee jumping, and wipe out. As well as booths from each class that will be selling yummy sweets. For dinner a spaghetti feed will be going on in the auditorium run by the juniors to fundraise for prom.
At eight o’clock the bonfire will start where we will introduce every fall sports team and auction off their man power to whoever is willing to donate.
Saturday night will be the Homecoming dance. It will be a sort of glow party where you can dress up in white and bright colors. Tickets for the dance will be available at the door. Twelve dollars for a single and $20 for a couple. Emilee Blanchard said, “It’s gonna be the best and most exciting dance of my highschool career!”
