Student Council has been busy planning this year's Homecoming activities. The theme is "Save the Last Dance" and is scheduled for February 1st-5th. In keeping with Covid guidelines, we are working to have the traditional games and activities while also keeping safety a priority. Students will be allowed to dress up throughout the week and sign up to participate in Battle of the Classes on Friday, February 5th. The games will be in the morning hours instead of the afternoon and will be live-streamed on YouTube. Students will watch the games from their classrooms, and parents are also encouraged to watch. At this point, a Homecoming dance will not be planned but may be allowed later in the year if mitigations allow it. We have added a Homecoming parade to our schedule of events for Saturday, February 6th, at 11:00 am. The Court candidates will be escorted by the Marching Appleknockers and they will follow the Peach Festival parade route. We ask all who attend the parade to maintain 6 ft social distancing and wear a mask. Coronation will be at 6:00 pm and will be for court candidates and parents only. A live stream feed will be posted on our school website for members and students to view the ceremony. Student Council has done a fabulous job planning new and creative activities for this year's Homecoming.
