Homecoming
week is exciting for high-schoolers and this year was no different. Each day
last week, students dressed according to themes and causes. On Monday students
arrived in pajamas for pj day, Tuesday the teens showed the pride in their
favorite professional teams or as a superhero by wearing a shirt or costume,
Wednesday was wacky and Thursday was wear pink in support of assistant
principal Deb McAfee who is battling breast cancer. Friday was class day, where
students wear shirts declaring their class. First years wore gray, sophomores
wore maroon, juniors wore blue and seniors, who traditionally wear white, wore
Arctic camouflage.
Friday
also was an early day for more than 100 students and teachers as they gathered
in the gym at 4:30 a.m. to do a school spirit challenge with Channel 13. Another
pep rally was held in the afternoon to psych the teams up for the football
game.
All
week the Windham athletic teams played homecoming games with great attendance
from the community.
Saturday
the band, athletic teams, members of each class and players from Windham Youth
Soccer Association gathered to march in a homecoming parade. Each class had a
float decorated with a theme. There the administration declared the senior
class the winner of the school spirit award with their seventies disco themed
float and ultimate school spirit. Fourth place went to the junior class with
their hip hop float, third went to the freshmen for “the roaring 2017s” float and
second was awarded to the sophomores with their Beatle’s inspirited creation. There
was a fair held after the parade and finally the week was capped off with a
homecoming dance at the high school Saturday night.
