Homecoming

hmitchell   Well, it is Homecoming week in Enterprise, Alabama.  This is the week that the kids live for and those of us who teach dread.  I am all for school spirit, but Homecoming week is like one big party which makes it hard to get anything done in the classroom!  It is encouraging to see the kids get excited about something!  We have even worked to revive an old tradition that we have not tried post tornado - the Homecoming Festival!  I look forward to tomorrow when each class will wear a distinct color.  Even the kids who hate dressing up just happen to wear the right color!  I really enjoy the Homecoming game the most - everyone comes out of the woodwork - college kids come home and adults seem to make an extra effort to come out to the game!  It makes for a great crowd!  The greatest thing this year is that next week is fall break!  It is like a BIG party before a holiday!  Hope you have a great week - Happy Homecoming!

Homecoming Week Viking Style
written by April AllenDowtin, October 23, 2008
We just had Homecoming two weeks ago and I totally understand. Of course, I enjoy the festivies and enjoy dressing up with the kids. Oh, how can I forget staying late EVERY EVENING that week until 7pm. Its game day that drives me crazy. I get to see my students for about 10minutes for the entire day. I'm so busy being called about Pep Rallies, Homecoming Court, decorating the field, and the list goes on. I get to work at 7am and don't leave until midnight. By kick off, my voice is gone and I'm trying to keep it together. I'm so thankful for the weekends and that Homecoming comes only once a year. smilies/cheesy.gif
