Homecoming 2018 Preview
September 28, 2018
Wednesday Night we will have hall decorating so please encourage your students to pitch in and help out. On Thursday night, we are taking things up a notch this year with a homecoming dance here at school. Tickets are $5 and will be sold all week. Dancings not your thing? No worries come out on Thursday for a movie in the courtyard!!
We have a Superintendent's Day scheduled for Friday so there will not be school. However, we are having a Food Truck Rodeo next to the stadium prior to the Homecoming Football game on Friday night. Please stop out to grab a bite to eat and see which class won the spirit stick. The big announcement will be during halftime with the winning class on the field.
As always, thanks for your support of our school program. We have great students and we are fortunate to work with them each day.

Homecoming 2018 CanJam Rules and Daily Drives
The tradition of giving continues!! As a school, our students collected nearly 5,000 pounds of non-perishable food to donate to local charities.
In CanJam, classes compete against each other to fill the bin of other classes with non-perishable food items. The class with the least amount of food items in their bin each day collects the points toward this year’s Spirit Stick Contest. Points will be deducted for teams that tamper with another class’s bin.
In short, the goal is to fill the bins of your competitors more than they are able to fill your bin. Sounds simple!!
How do classes accumulate point?
Points will be awarded for the overall winner for CanJam as follows:
1st- 100 points
2nd- 80 points
3rd- 60 points
4th- 40 points
In addition, there will also be daily winners based on the collection of food from that day. At the close of each day, bins will be emptied and counted to declare a daily winner. Daily winners will be announced on Twitter and the Morning News.
1st- 50 points
2nd- 40 points
3rd- 30 points
4th- 20 points
Daily CanJam Drives
One way to quickly accumulate points on your opponents is to strategically stuff the bin of your competitors with special designated items. Here are the special target items for this year’s event
Monday- That’s Amore- each item of traditional italian food equals 2 items.
Tuesday-Taco Tuesday - Any item that would be served at a Mexican restaurant or meal counts as 3 items.
Wednesday- Giving Thanks- Any item that would be served at a Thanksgiving dinner equals four items.
Thursday- CanJam Day Each canned food item equals 5 items. Classes add to their own bin TODAY only
EACH DAY- ANY TOILETRY ITEMS WILL COUNT AS THE ITEMS FOR THAT DAY'S THEME. WE ARE PLANNING TO SEND ITEMS TO THE WEBSTER FOOD CUPBOARD. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!
