Homecoming
Homecoming week is now past us! It is a week full of friendly competition and lots of fun. Sparta's homecoming is the best in the state. All week, the different classes compete for the red apple through things like penny a point, the canned food drive, and dress up days. Each of these competitions earn points for each grade to help them in their journey for the red apple. This year, the theme was different decades. The seniors had the 80's, juniors had 20's, sophomores had 70's, and the freshman had the 90's. On Friday, the games began and the mock rocks were performed after the court gave their speeches. Each grade wants to win and the competition is tough. The seniors and juniors were close the entire time. After the mock rock's and floats were judged the seniors won the red apple! Each year, I am so excited to get out of bed on Friday knowing that the whole day is so much fun and the homecoming game is that evening. Even though the grades are pitted against each other, homecoming week brings us together as a school and a community and gets everyone excited for the big game!

Olivia I have no idea where you have been but there is no friendly competition during homecoming week. Juniors and seniors want to basically rip each others faces off- okay maybe not that violent... But we do fight for points which is a good thing because it unites Sparta. Or something. I still don't understand how ya'll seniors won but I guess it happens. I'm glad you had fun and I wish we could have hung out at the dance!
ReplyDeleteI thought Homecoming was very fun! I like how you included a picture of the band! I am so glad that the Seniors won the Red Apple! Go class of 2014!
ReplyDeletei feel thst your blog is less than satisfactory to the eyes. i like the background because you can cloudwatch, which i was totally not doing in physics today (the clouds were going to the right on the bootom of the horizon and to the left on the top of the horizon), and it is a nice blue. but i dislike how your pictures do not fit in your text box. unless you were going for aan abstract look... in that case, BRAVO. well, hope this helps with your blog probs! i suggest this cat as a future background (; https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&docid=BcKEp4ERuZm47M&tbnid=1TXu-CyDpyGxbM:&ved=0CAUQjRw&url=http%3A%2F%2Friannanworld.typepad.com%2Fmy_weblog%2Fanimals%2F&ei=VPZSUqzRNcemqQGT3YBA&bvm=bv.53537100,d.aWc&psig=AFQjCNGPTMHxufQ9eQ77CSS7Tg2BEFC5hA&ust=1381255087525935
ReplyDeletescroll about a quarter of the way down for the cats with great teeth :D
DeleteI understand where you're coming from in this post, but I don't think an outsider would! They may ask what is the red apple or why is the band on the street? You must explain in greater detail! Anywhoooo hope this helps solve future blog probs. (:
