Throughout the rest of the week--Monday through Friday, respectively--we also celebrated via various designated dress-up days, including pajama day, wear your favorite team's jersey day, dress like a teacher day, dress as your favorite superhero day, and wear your finest black and orange gear day. There is definatley no question that students and staff both not only showed a lot of "spirit" over the course of our dress-up days but also a lot of creativity as well! In fact, Ms. Schmit and Mrs. Jensen were the first to set the tone, sporting their best rendition of their own favorite superheros--Raphael and Donatello--two of the four super stupendous Ninja Turtle crew!
Our Homecoming celebratory events culminated Friday morning, starting with our annual walk around the lake. And despite the rain and nip in the air, a good time outside was had by all. In addition to sharing that time walking and talking with fellow third-grade friends and classmates, this year we also had the opportunity to spend some quality time with some of the high school students, too, including our 9th-grade friends!
As part of our Homecoming agenda, we would like to send out a special shout out of thanks to Cassidy, Jaidyn, and Macy for their much-appreciated efforts leading us in cheers during our various stops. Many thanks to all three of you!
Once we had completed our walk, we returned to school for a bit of a rest before we enjoyed a tasty tailgate-lunch, featuring beef burgers and hotdogs. Yum, yum! Later that afternoon, we cheered and danced alongside the high schoolers at the pepfest in preparation for the coming game! Before heading home, we then adjourned to the elementary gym for still more fun, partaking in a few indoor games before closing out our week!Hopefully some, if not all of you, were able to make it to the game later that night and put a stellar display of home-grown Sleepy Eye Pride!
