The Very First Ever Homecoming Dance!

Wow!  What a week!  We just had our very first ever homecoming game, dance, homecoming court.  It was a week of firsts!

I am not necessarily a fan of copying what the public/private schools do.  However, I AM a fan of the high school kids in the PPEA having a great high school experience.  The teens like dances.  I like the teens (usually).  So I started planning our homecoming weekend.

First the game--we don't have a sports team.  A co-ed game is absolutely out--hands are gonna end up in places they ought not to be.  Powderpuff game...well, now would probably be a good time to admit that I don't really understand all the rules of football, so no football games.  But they love laser tag!  Ah ha!  A class on class face-off!  (BTW, seniors won!)
Fast forward to the next night--the dance!  Sock Hop theme, music from the 50s and on, pizza and snacks...did I mention the bling?

This was a big deal...to the girls! Anyone who had purchased a ticket by the deadline (and was a student member of the PPEA) was nominated for Homecoming Court!  Let the voting begin!

The whole gang!

We even did the Limbo Rock--and somehow they talked me into playing too.  OK, I crawled through.  After all, I'm old!

Feeling blessed, how about you?
