PCHS Homecoming week for the 2010-2011 school year was great for the students. Monday was Hat Day at the school. We had students wearing baseball caps, stocking caps, and even chicken hats. There was a large variety of hats around the school that students wore.
Tuesday was Toga Day. Students wore a sheet over their clothes for the toga look. Many deviated from the typical white sheet by wearing bedsheets fashioned in cartoons, super heroes, and other designs.
Wednesday was Class Colors Day and the day of the powder puff game. Freshman wore green; Sophomores wore blue; Juniors wore pink; and the Seniors wore orange, each to support their classes. Seniors also went as far as decorating the hallways of the school in order to get more into the spirit of the game day. The atmosphere was wonderful.
Thursday was Superhero Day. Students dressed up as their favorite superhero all day long. Among those seen were the Hulk, Power Puff Girls, Ninja Turtles, Spiderman, Batman, Catwoman, and some students even invented their own alter ego.
Friday was Orange-and-Black Day and also class games day.
I interviewed both Austin Huxford and Cayla Higgins about what they thought of the week. Both Huxford and Higgins answered "class colors day" when I asked them which day they enjoyed the most.
I also asked them both if there was anything they didn't like about the week.
"I wish dressing for the theme days would have been worth points towards class games like usual," says Huxford.
"The theme days should have been themes more people would have participated in, Superhero Day was really hard to come up with something for," says Higgins.
All in all, the week was a success. Going around school that week, I did hear a few teachers complaining about it because nothing ever gets done in class time during the homecoming week, but I think it's good that the students have a week for them to just be able to have fun at school and show their school spirit and tiger pride!
