Next week is a big week for Talawanda.
DOM:
Yeah it is–with the Homecoming parade on Thursday, the game on Friday, and the dance on Saturday, there’s a lot going on.
WILL:
One way everyone can get involved is with spirit week.
DOM:
That’s right–each day next week has a different theme.
WILL:
Monday is PJ Day
DOM:
Tuesday’s theme is “OXFORD JUNGLE”
WILL:
Wednesday’s theme is “We wear Pink”
DOM:
On Thursday, wear your best Country OR Country Club attire
WILL:
And Friday is class color day. Freshman should wear RED
DOM:
sophomores should wear BLUE
WILL:
juniors should wear WHITE
DOM:
and seniors should wear BLACK
WILL:
Show your school spirit next week by participating throughout the week.
DOM:
Another way students and teachers can get in the spirit is by decorating classroom doors.
WILL:
Right. Teachers–decorate your classroom door with your students to celebrate Homecoming.
DOM:
Doors need to be decorated by the end of the day on Monday so they can be judged by a panel of experts. The three top-rated doors will receive a class pizza party
WILL:
