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.
