The Homecoming that Beats All Homecomings

      Sparta High School has the best Homecoming, hands down! Basically, our homecoming consists of different competitions that each grade competes in in an attempt to win the RED APPLE. On the week leading up to homecoming, we have a dress up day every day and have competitions such as a canned food drive and penny a point (both of which go to a good cause). If your grade wins the competition you earn 4 points, if you come in 2nd you get 3 points and so on and so forth. On dress up days, example, the grade with the highest percentage of students dressed up get the 4 points. These competitions continue on the Friday of Homecoming. On that Friday we arrive to school and have a formal assembly. At this assembly the homecoming court members give a speech and then we have an adult speaker. After that we go back and vote for King and Queen and then return to the gym for some games. These games can be anything from the Catepillar game (which would take to long to explain) to the Orange Pass Game (passing an orange from person to person using only your neck). These competitions also win points for each grade. After the games we have Mock Rock, which is a choreographed dance that each grade preforms, and then we have a parade to the football field for a pep assembly. During the parade each grade walks next to the float they made.  This concludes the homecoming day activities. Many students do, however, show up to the football game and do attend the homecoming dance the next day.
      Overall, I have had great homecoming experiences! I love dressing up on the dress up days and I love participating in the games! Though I must admit, my favorite memory from Homecoming was being on Homecoming court. I was blest with the chance of being a class representative sophomore year and I got elected by my grade again this year to be on court! I felt so honored and I wish more people got to have that experience because it was a blast! I enjoyed preparing and giving a speech (public speaking has become my new passion). Then I felt like a princess getting all dressed up for the parade and the football field. And on top of all that already amazing stuff, I actually won Homecoming Queen! I couldn't believe that I won so I stood there with a dazed look on my face for quite a few seconds. All in all, it was an amazing experience and I feel so blest for having it!
