Hollywood Homecoming Festivities Commence By Cami Perez and Olivia Dicarlo The 2019 Bishop Ireton Football team took the field before their Homecoming game. This was the last time Bishop Ireton went head to head against PVI.
Are you ready to walk the red carpet into homecoming? That’s right, this year’s theme is Hollywood. The homecoming game and dance is a place to have fun and hang with all your friends. You get to get hyped for the Homecoming football game and get all dressed up for the Homecoming dance. Overall, it’s a great time to see all your friends, take pictures, cheer on our football team, and have fun at the game and dance. Additionally, you can dance all night in the school gym with good music, games and snacks. Bradley Klinck, the president of SCA, thinks COVID will play a small role in homecoming and spirit week. “I don’t think anyone will even feel a difference because of COVID.” He says. “We’re lucky to be having the dance and game again, and apart from masks, everything will be the same. It is going to be a great first experience for freshmen and sophomores.”
Once Spirit Week concludes and the weekend begins, the game and dance become the main focus. Students can show their school spirit, come decked out in Bishop Ireton gear and help our Cardinal Crazies cheer on our football team! Bishop Ireton will be playing PVI so students should bring their loudest voices and all their school spirit. Once the game is over students can go home just in time to prepare for the dance. At the dance the ladies are expected to wear a school appropriate dress that provides modest coverage. Guys are expected to wear a nice pair of dress pants with a dress shirt. Students are permitted to bring one additional outside guest if approved by the school. Once arriving at the school, students should make their way to the gym to attend the dance. Upon entering students can enjoy and dance to music with their friends. Students should check
their email to submit song suggestions for the dance! Song submissions are required to be school appropriate and not contain any explicit lyrics or illicit themes. Additionally, administration has required that students must arrive before 8:30 and do not allow any students to leave until 10:30 pm. As Mr. Pressimone said “It will be a ‘mask-erade’ ” because students will have to wear a mask inside of the gym the whole time. Then they can dance to the songs that the school plays and have a blast with all their fellow classmates. Once the dance is over, students can leave the school with their guests and continue the night with their friends. In all, Bishop Ireton Students and staff have worked hard to ensure a COVID safe and fun homecoming week. Students should follow both the COVID and dress code guidelines to ensure a fun night for everyone.
