Homecoming Success!

As the title of this post states, homecoming was a great success.  This is not just because the football team won Friday night but in every aspect of Friday and homecoming week.  We had a lot of students dress up over the course of the week which is always fun.  Our students handled themselves very well throughout the week and did well academically while still having fun.  That was great to see.  Somebody must know the weatherman because you couldn't have asked for a better day on Friday.  I remember wearing winter jackets and stocking caps some years.  Our tailgate lunch out on the playground went very well.  Our expert grillers were in fine form.  The entire elementary walked down to the nursing home and marched through for the residents to see and the students were very respectful.  The residents were happy to see everyone.  The parade was outstanding and all 326 students found parents, got on the bus, or went to OST. Everyone got to where they were suppose to be without a hitch.  The carnival, the punt, pass, and Kick contest, and powederpuff football game was also well attended.  It is great to see everyone having fun and have a safe place to go between the parade and the football game.  As our school district encompasses almost 1000 square miles, a lot of people are looking for something to do durng that time.  The Kiwanis put on a nice supper and then to top it off we had an exciting football game with Tigers coming out on top.  It will be hard to beat this year's homecoming.
