We will eat at the stadium with band, cheer and sapphires eating first along with those who are getting a float ready for the parade. Your sponsor/coach must give you permission to go help with the float. Make sure you speak to them about that.
Lunch will be: hamburger, chips, fruit and water. Each student will be able to go through the lunch line and get their sack lunch. When you go to the stadium, bottled water will be provided to you.
Once we all have lunch together at the Stadium, those in the parade will go to their float and the rest of the students will get ready to watch the parade on the West side of the high school.
Once the parade is done, we will go back to the stadium and we will have treats to beat the heat! Our pep rally will consist of class competitions, royalty announcement, games, singing competition and the announcement of our class winner for Homecoming 2023.
