As most of us know, Homecoming week and Homecoming itself is a pretty big thing at Poca High school. From red and grey day to class competitions, homecoming is always a fun and exciting time at Poca.
This year homecoming should be even more special due to the extra activities throughout the week. We have get up and go day on Monday, mismatch day on Tuesday, cowboy and Indian day on Wednesday, character day is on Thursday, and red and grey day is Friday. We have also added powder-puff, class competitions, class posters, and tailgating before the homecoming football game Friday. The regular and the new homecoming activities will make a fun and exciting week during homecoming.
In previous years, about 75 percent of people dress up and actually participate in the days of spirit week. It would make spirit week and homecoming a lot more fun and exciting if everyone participated and got into it. All of us know that Poca High School isn’t best known for having the most school spirit and that really needs to change! This year, I think the more people will participate in the days of spirit week because they are easier to do and more exciting than usual.
Personally, I’m most excited for powder-puff and competing with all the other classes. The last time we played powder-puff was our freshman year and we tied with the seniors. This isn’t one of our regular or traditional activities during spirit week, but most likely after this year it will be. Even though it was a successful turn out a few years ago, we haven’t really had time or put fourth any effort to play powder-puff since then. Each class gets to design their own shirt for the game and schedule practices for their team. Hopefully the seniors will come out on top this year and show the freshman, sophomores, and juniors what’s up. It is also the last day of spirit week, (Friday) so everyone should be excited and ready to play.
I know each class will be competing, but I really hope this year’s spirit week and homecoming will really bring our school together and boost our schools spirit.
