Homecoming Kickoff Week Activities Set

By Danni Dunlop It’s time to get pumped for a fun-filled week leading up to the Thanksgiving Break. The week-long events kickoff on Wednesday, Nov. 16. In anticipation of Homecoming Week, the hornet will pop into random classrooms Tuesday.  The hornet will be going in different classrooms handing out flyers to help distribute the news about Homecoming Week. Thanks to Student Council, Homecoming week is a week to show our school spirit while participating in different activities and spirit days. On Wednesday everyone gets the opportunity to have their picture taken with the school’s official mascot, the hornet.  The hornet will be sitting in front of a special backdrop in the commons from 5th period through 7th period waiting for people to take a selfie with it. If you like to play ping pong and are good at it, give a donation and have the chance to play in a tournament on Friday during lunch waves.  On Thursday Student Council members will have a table set up in the commons to collect the donations and enter your name in the contest.  A couple lucky people from each grade will get their name picked out of a hat and get to participate in the activity. During first lunch, freshmen will play against sophomores and during second lunch, juniors will play against seniors.  All money raised supports the Diabetes Foundation in memory of a former coach at BHS, Scott Jenkins, who passed away in July. On Monday the 21st, students will get to see a couple of teachers get hit in the face by a pie by some fellow classmates during lunch waves.  Also going on that day, there is a knock-out basketball tournament happening after school from 2:30 to 4 p.m.  If interested, speak to Mr. Hernandez. The Annual Dodgeball Tournament will be held after school on Tuesday from 2:30 to 4 p.m.  Also after school, class officers are going to be setting up for a unique event, “Locker Wars.”  This event helps boost school spirit while adding a little competition.  The class officers of each grade will be assigned a color to decorate grade’s locker bays and which ever grade decorates the best wins.  The winners will be announced in school the next day. There will be a poster party for the Junior and Senior girls who are participating in the Powderpuff Flag Football game from 4 to 6 p.m. in the small gym Tuesday night.  The Powderpuff game will be from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Various clubs will be set up in the commons selling food and drinks to raise funds, too.  So come out and enjoy the last day before Thanksgiving Break!
