A Homecoming Fit for a Prince...or Princess

Confession:  there is a part of me that hates Homecoming Week.  The glitter.  The feathers.  The cyberbullying.

But most of me loves Homecoming and all that it entails.  I attend the events to see my students in action.  I love their school spirit.  I love their smiles.  I love how, in spite of some of the aforementioned bullying, Homecoming has the ability to bring us all together in a way that doesn't happen at any other part of the year.

I give you Homecoming 2016, as experienced through the lens of my iPhone:


TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK: The Broncos clinch the MSL West Title.  I love this photo the most because it shows how they work together even when the clock isn't ticking.



Cheerleaders brave the cold and rain--after walking in the parade to boot!



These Bronco Super Fans are at every soccer game it seems...



That volleyball float was rather impressive!








Go Broncos!





I love the smile on CK in this one!


Varsity Soccer opened up a Whole New World for us at the Pep Assembly.




Broncos Get LOUD!



Back in the classroom:  Film Students work in groups to compete in Reverse Charades.  The WHOLE team gets up to act out while ONE student guesses the film being acted out.

This is a pretty good Forrest Gump.





Dumb and Dumber



The bear attack from The Revenant:


























The Hobbit:
