A Cereal-sly Fantastic HOCO

by Sienna Mehling

It has been a cereal-sly fun week here on campus with our thrilling dress-up days and exciting games and activities on campus this past week! This year's theme was different types of cereal each day, which had students from high school all the way down to elementary dressing according to the different cereals each day. Each campus had different dress-up days. High schools' dress-up days consisted of Sports Day, Tropical Day, Senior Citizen Day, Career Day, and Spirit Day. Students participated in many different games at lunch this week. Monday included two cereal-sly intense games of Kajabi. One game with girls and the other with boys. Since Tuesday was Tropical Day, a co-ed beach volleyball was played out on the green. Wednesday, students ate their raisin bran and appeared to be 60 years older. They raced around the green with walkers and wheelchairs. Thursday’s game was spike ball because what's Life without Spike Ball? Cheerios and other cereals were the themes of Friday’s game, where students participated in cheerio “minute to win it” games. Thursday’s talent show was a big hit and saw all kinds of different talents from every grade. Eight different acts were performed. The senior class was represented by Eliana Rotunno, with her freshman sister Angelina Rotunno performing a hip-hop dance to the song “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” Sadie Carpenter also represented the Senior class by singing “Tremble”. Finally, the last performance for the senior class was Matthew Azua, Emiliano Mendez, Aaron Gutierrez, and Damian Cabrera with Mr. Sorensen for the first annual Homecoming pie eating contest! The Junior class was represented by Leka Takapu singing a song on his ukelele, and a group of junior, freshman, and sophomore boys, as well as Mr. Nolan, performed “patito juan” with special guest Mr. Pinkard. In the sophomore class, we had Maddie Marquis playing and singing on the piano and Grant Wilkins on the drums. Each class made a video representing a theme for this week and had to follow 3 guidelines for their video. Each class needed to creatively feature an eagle, a staff member, and cereal. It is unanimous, but the winner of the class video is the junior class. The winner of the talent show is Maddie Marquis from the sophomore class. The freshman float is Wheaties - sports-themed. Sophomores are captain crunch - tropical day, the Junior’s have Life cereal - career day, and the senior class is raisin bran- senior citizen. The winners of the float are the freshman class.
