School spirit has been running high in the days leading up to Homecoming. Whether it be Country/Country Club Day in the Middle and High School, or Honky Tonk Tuesday or Wacky Wednesday in the Elementary, we've enjoyed seeing the wild and crazy outfits throughout the week. Tomorrow is Flip Flop Day for Middle and High School (students dress as teachers and teachers dress as students) and Fall Sports Friday (wear your black and gold) in the Elementary.
Congratulations to the following Southern Columbia Seniors who were named to the Homecoming Court. Front Row: Caitlyn Brent, Anesa Brown, Sayla Chapman, Victoria Conway, Jadyn Jankowski, and Quinn Johnston. Back Row: Louden Murphy, Mason Barvitskie, Sean Buhay, Isaac Carter, Garrett Garcia, and Gavin Krebs. The King will be crowned on Friday during the Homecoming Pep Rally. The queen will be crowned on Friday at 6:45pm prior to the football game.
Last week, First Grade took advantage of the beautiful weather and practiced addition on the sidewalk. Additionally, Olivia Meyer chose "Storyteller" as her monthly SWIPBIS reward and read to her First Grade class. The week ended with Hat Day in Mrs. Hower's Third Grade classroom. We can't wait to see what the district has in store for Homecoming Spirit Week this week!
