Everyone knows that homecoming is a very significant event. Whether it be the game, the dance or the week leading up, homecoming is a huge event. But how does it all come to be?
SGA starts planning for homecomeing and spirit week as early as summer. They begin by choosing the theme for the dance. Members simply take any ideas that come to mind and sift through them untill they arrive at a top 3. They then vote on the most popular from those.
After a theme is chosen, SGA has to start making decorations. They paint banners and make posters and signs for advertisement. They also have to buy balloons and streamers and other things that match the theme. This usually begins early in september, when members meet on Saturday mornings. When it’s all said and done, homecoming can run into the 1000’s.
In addition to planning the dance, Student Government also comes up with the days for Spirit Week. The spirit committee looks back at previous years to see what students like and didn’ like. They keep ones that people really love, like nerd day, and they try to experiment with new days if one wasn’t such a success in the past.
Junior Janna Edwards is a member of SGA who enjoys planning the dance and watching it all come together. Planning for homecoming is ”fun because I have alot of spirit and i like painting.” “It’s lots of fun with other people too.”
