Student Government meets every Wednesday to plan and prepare. Representatives vote on various aspects about Homecoming. Sponsor Mrs. Kathleen LaPorte, social studies teacher, tries to oversee almost every aspect of the process.
“It’s successful because of the kids that that helped me,” said Mrs. LaPorte. “I jump in with logistical things and to bounce ideas off, but they really are the backbone to success.”
This year, new tasks were added:
Alongside the Powderpuff revival, Student Government brought back the spirit trucks to the Homecoming parade.
They also established a committee to oversee the Pep Session. The games that will be played at the Pep Session include tug-o-war, the half-court shot, dodgeball game and musical chairs. Members help set up each event and keep things organized.
Ini Edet, senior, was the student in charge of the entire Pep Session.
“I know what goes on during the pep rally, but I feel like once I get there, I’m gonna be a little bit stressed,” Edet. “I want to make sure everything goes orderly.”
Mrs. LaPorte said the new ideas worked out well.
“I think school spirit is a little higher this year,” Mrs. LaPorte said.
