HOMECOMING

        Homecoming is when  is an annual tradition in the United States. People, towns, high schools, and colleges come together, usually in late September or early October, to welcome back alumni and former residents. They also take the chance to celebrate the school's existence.The 1911 Kansas vs. Missouri football game. The tradition of Homecoming has its origin in alumni football games held at colleges and universities since the 19th century. We celebrate homecoming in school because first, those who already graduated can reunite with old friends but, others in the school do it to show school spirit. Another reason is to show you support tof whatever athletic teams or clubs are going on around the time it will happen. Activities around the time can be spirit week. In spirit week you obviously show your school spirit based on whatever it is they assign you to wear that day. Ex: movie character, super hero, pink, class colors, crazy hair, etc. A tradition taken place in homecoming is King and Queen as well, as Prince and Princess. King and Queen are most likely to be 12th graders. Students have time like a couple of weeks before to nominate and the winners get chose and presented at homecoming dance. Pep rallies are also a great way they introduce homecoming games.   The homecoming game is called “Homecoming Game” because it's the game taking places right before homecoming. Depending on the school the dress code is arranged. It is most likely to be formal wear. EX: pretty formal  dress for the girls not inappropriate (knee length)  and nice slacks and shirt for the boys. Another traditional thing is the boy gives his date a flower.

         

     I think homecoming is a great idea. I think this because you get to have a fun night with friends. Another reason is because you show school spirit and it motivates your peers as well, as yourself. Also it's a fun night where you won't get into trouble and it won't be a trashy night out with friends, but it's still be fun.
