Homecoming Details

[Click on photos to enlarge: "Refrigerator Art" by Peter]
It's Homecoming Week at Mountain Valley High School. Each day the students wear a different outfit to school--for example, one day it's camouflage (How American is that? Cowboys...) and the next may be the jersey of a favorite sports team. Friday ends with a typical American high school sports rally in the gym with cheerleaders, bands, and contests (games) among the various classes (9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th). On Friday, kids wear the school colors (cobalt blue & silver). Saturday night is the homecoming dance and both boys have opted, so far, to wear white shirts and ties. (They went to the mall on Saturday night to search for "dress-up" clothes or what Rich calls "Big boy clothes." Now that was a good time.) Anyway, no jeans allowed at this affair. They've also chosen to go with friends from the soccer team. It'll be a long week in school--but a fun one--with all the typical American high school activities and the school work. We think there may also be a parade with class floats on Friday night--but that can neither be confirmed or denied at this point (timely phraseology for an election year). Stay tuned for Homecoming pictures next weekend. Two soccer matches this week: one on Thursday afternoon in Bethel and one at home for Homecoming on Saturday. That's the news from Prospect Avenue. Have a great week, everyone: we will.
