Homecoming Changes for 2012

Parents and Community Members,

This year we are going to try something new for Homecoming on Friday afternoon.  In the past we have had three separate things happening: an elementary pep rally at the end of the school day, a parade that began at school and ended downtown, and finally, a pep rally downtown.  We were looking for a way to try to combine these three things into a central location and have a great community and school event. 

We would like to invite all parents, community members, and Eagle supporters to join our entire Pre-K -12 student body and staff at an outdoor, community pep rally at Sanger Field, beginning at 2:30 on September 28th.  We will use some parts of all three of the above events to create a spirited West Hancock event as we get ready for the big game that night!

We would like all of our community members to either sit in designated spots in the home bleachers or stand along the fence on the north half of the field.  To start our pep rally we will have a parade on the track that will include our band, the homecoming court and attendants, advisory spirit posters and all of our elementary students marching.  The parade will go from the ticket booth north, all the way around to the start / finish line on the track.  The elementary students will sit on the track when they finish marching in. 

Once the parade is complete, we will have the pep rally right on the track for all of our students, staff and parents to be involved in.  This should be a great end to our homecoming school week and a great "kick off" for that nights game! 

High School Parent Advisory

There will be a high school parent advisory meeting on Wednesday September 19th at 5:15 in the high school library.  If you have not been to a meeting in the past, you can make this your first one.  We will go over some things that are going on in the high school.  I may have some questions for parents and parents can ask me some questions.  We will try to be done by 6:15.

Thanks!

Mr. Recker

Our band and chorus students are really starting to find their musical groove as the school year continues.

School Pictures are Monday!

Parents,

School pictures are Monday. Please make sure that your son or daughter has picked up a picture form. They are available at the office. We will take pictures of each student, whether they order prints or not. We use these pictures for activity passes and the yearbook.

Thanks!

Advisory Supply Drive

Parents,

As I mentioned in an earlier post, each month we will be focusing on one donation item for the Food Shelf.  This month's item is toothpaste and tooth brushes.  We have had a good start as you can see below:

Thank you to Mrs. Winter and Trinity Thompson for decorating the display case.  We have some items but we would like more.  Please send any items with your student to give to their advisor.  This is a great way for our students and staff to give back to the community.
