Homecoming Week

First, before I jump into the week ahead, I just want to say thanks for your patience last week.  I was out sick and have been struggling to get caught up and so my blog had to be set aside for the week.  But I'm (finally) feeling better and just in time because this is a BIG week ahead!

One of the traditions that the student council coordinates are spirit week themes for the entire week leading up to the homecoming football game on Friday night and the dance on Saturday.  This is a great way that students can support Kilbourne and show your school spirit.

Monday - PJ Day (because you didn't really want to get dressed up in real clothes on a Monday, right?)

Tuesday - Thrift Store Mis-Match day

Wednesday - Pink Out

Thursday - Jersey day (wear your favorite sports team's jerseys)

Friday - Beach/ Hawaiian Day 

It is important to remember that your attire for all of these days is still required to abide by the requirements of the student dress code.

In addition to the spirit themed dress, this week will also feature:

- A canned food drive on Tuesday during lunch periods.  The donated food is part of the Battle of Hard Road with Dublin Scioto (who WKHS plays on Friday) to compete for which school can donate the most food for the food pantry.

- Friday during lunch periods we will have a Suicide Prevention day activity where you will be invited to acknowledge those people in your lives who are positive connections for you.  Why?  Because knowing that we are never as alone as we sometimes feel is important to remembering that we all matter in this world and are needed here every day!

- Friday afternoon will feature a Pep Rally in the football stadium.  In order to allow for the whole school to participate in the afternoon pep rally, we will have a modified bell schedule for Friday.

- Battle of Hard Road football game (Kilbourne vs Scioto) with additional canned food collection happening on each side of the field.

- Dance out in the Stadium on Saturday night.

Clearly, it will be a BUSY and Fun-Filled week ahead.  I hope you will make the most of embracing the energy and excitement of the high school festivities.
