Student Council has planned for the dance to have a carnival theme.
“The carnival theme seems really unique,” said senior Bridget Conlon. “It is really different from our past themes and other school’s themes.”
For those who don’t want to be on the dance floor all night, Student Council advisor Mr. Fortino shared that there will be carnival games with prizes for the students to win while at the dance.
You also want to get ready for the best food you will ever have at a homecoming dance. The menu for the dance will also consist of carnival-inspired foods.
“There’s an outside vendor that is doing basic carnival foods like french fries, chicken tenders, and funnel cake,” said Fortino.
This is a new idea for the Homecoming dance, and students are already excited. Who doesn’t feel nostalgia for funnel cake?
For those with food restrictions, there will be two peanut-free vendors, as well as one gluten free.
In order to attend, students need to be present in school on Friday or have a professional note.
“Students must be present and arrive prior to 10am on Friday, Sept. 29, 2023 in order to attend the Homecoming Dance on Saturday, Sept. 30, 2023 as our per our Attendance Policy,” said Principal Michael Kays in an email to parents. “If students are absent on that day, they must bring in a professional note to the Main Office prior to 2:26pm on Friday, Sept. 29, 2023 in order to attend the dance. Students will not be permitted to leave and return.”
Ms. Kari Gursky sent out further information via email on Sept. 29.
“All students and their guests will need to enter the building through the doors by the Gold Gym,” said Gursky in the email. “All attendees need to show a school (photo) ID to be admitted to the dance – don’t forget your digital ticket!”
