The week of Oct. 13-17 is Homecoming Week at Weeping Water Public
School. The theme for this year is “Hollywood”. The Student Council
spent Sunday afternoon decorating the school and getting everyone
psyched up for a great week of games. As usual, each day of the week
has been designated as some sort of “dress-up” day.
Monday—Twin day (dress like your best friend)
Tuesday—Switch your sport day (wear the uniform of a different sport)
Wednesday—Celebrity Day (come as your favorite celebrity)
Thursday—Swap Team Day (come as a Brownell-Talbot athlete)
Friday—Spirit Day (wear red, white, and black and show your spirit)
The traditional bonfire will take place on the night of Tuesday,
Oct. 14th. The kids will meet at the school at 6:45 p.m. and walk out
to the football field. The actual bonfire will start at 7:30 p.m.
It’s always a lot of fun to see the kids (and the parents) get into the
spirit of the week with this annual event.
A pep rally has been scheduled for Friday afternoon in downtown
Weeping Water. The school kids will be dismissed from their classes at
1:00 p.m. to walk the parade route to the business district. The pep
rally is scheduled to begin at approximately 1:15 p.m. and will last
for about 30 minutes. Let’s get out and show our town’s spirit by
joining in with the kids for this fun activity. After the pep rally,
the parade will take the students back to the school where they will be
dismissed for the day (at approximately 2:00 p.m.).
Football game: Fri., Oct. 17th at 7:00 p.m. against Brownell-Talbot
Coronation: Following the football game at the football field
Dance: Following the coronation at the school
Sixty-Seven Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade girls participated in
the “Future Cheerleader Camp” this year. In the weeks leading up to
the Sept. 26th football game, the girls practiced many times to learn
cheers and the movements that go with them. The girls, along with the
Weeping Water High School Varsity Cheerleaders, entertained the crowd
during half-time of the Weeping Water/Yutan game. Good job ladies—you
were wonderful!!
