As September comes to an end, students at River Hill scramble to find dates, plan outfits, and buy tickets for the Homecoming dance coming up on October 7th. Homecoming is an exciting event because along with the dance, there\u2019s also the homecoming football game and pep rally the day before homecoming. The theme for the dance this year is House of Cards, and each grade is represented by a suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While not particularly excited about the event, Senior Henry Zatkowski plans to attend his last high school homecoming. As this is his first year going with a date, Henry explains, \u201cI\u2019m going with my girlfriend, I\u2019m just gonna ask her if she wants to go and not make a sign or anything.\u201d Henry has remained pretty unimpressed with the past homecomings, and this year’s theme increases his apprehension. He details, \u201cThe theme is not very good, I don\u2019t really see the vision.\u201d Regarding his attire, Henry plans to match his date: \u201cshe\u2019s wearing a pink dress so I\u2019m gonna get a pink tie to match.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bethel Bruk, also a senior, is going with a group of friends to the dance. She had little luck finding a dress in person, so she resorted to online and \u201cordered a blue one shoulder bodycon dress.\u201d While Bethel showed more enthusiasm than Henry regarding the dance, she agreed with Henry\u2019s thoughts about the theme commenting, \u201cI don\u2019t like the theme, I feel like it\u2019s weird and I don\u2019t like the spirit days.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Junior Zoe Pachoca is also going with a group of friends to the dance. Zoe ordered her dress in late August: \u201cI picked out my dress, it\u2019s burgundy, sparkly long sleeved and bodycon.\u201d Regarding the theme, Zoe comments, \u201cI think it\u2019s a little weird, I like it but I\u2019m interested to see how they incorporate our school colors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some students, such as sophomore Trey Larose, do not have a clear plan for the dance yet. Trey says, \u201cI might go with my boy Luca, I don\u2019t have an outfit picked out, but I\u2019ll figure it out. I like blue and red so maybe one of those colors.\u201d In contrast with other opinions, Trey explains \u201cI think the theme is amazing, I don\u2019t really know what it\u2019s supposed to mean though.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabi Demuren, the SGA Executive Board President gives a little context to the planning that goes into the event. \u201cWe delegate tasks to various committees, with each committee responsible for specific areas like the pep rally, homecoming week spirit, event planning, and the actual dance itself.\u201d Students and staff put a lot of hard work and effort into the homecoming season, and hope to make it a time for all students to enjoy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the theme, Gabi explains, \u201cAt the dance, you can expect to see captivating balloon designs that bring the theme to life, and we\u2019ve prepared a special hoco favor, a small deck of cards, for all attendees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homecoming is an event for the students, to help the school build a community and have fun together. Whether you\u2019re going with a date, friends, or riding solo, enjoy your homecoming night on October 7th!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
