Fall Home­com­ing at Big Wal­nut High School isn’t just a day and a dance; Home­com­ing is a week­long sched­ule of activ­i­ties lead­ing up to a tra­di­tional home­com­ing foot­ball game. Big Wal­nut High School’s 2012 Home­com­ing Week begins on Mon­day, Octo­ber 1, and con­tin­ues through the week with a spe­cial theme for each day.

On Mon­day, stu­dents through­out the school will be involved in a Color Bat­tle — Seniors will be blue for Kenny, Juniors will be orange, sopho­mores will try on black and Fresh­man will be white.

Tues­day will be Twin Day; Wednes­day is for Grease Light­nin’; and Thurs­day is Theme Day – this year Seniors will be Won­der­ful World of Seniors, Juniors will be Double-o-Seven, Sopho­mores will be Sugar Coated Sopho­mores, and Fresh­man will be Fan­tasy Freshman.

On Fri­day, a Spirit and Pep Rally at the end of the school day will deter­mine which is the most spir­ited class at the high school – fresh­men, sopho­mores, juniors or seniors.

At 5:15 p.m. Fri­day stu­dents from all six dis­trict school build­ings will gather at the Sun­bury United Methodist Church upper park­ing lot to stage the 6 p.m. Fall Home­com­ing Parade.

Each dis­trict school build­ing pre­pares a float for the parade, and stu­dents from each school march in the parade to show their Eagle Spirit. After the parade, one school is cho­sen as the most spir­ited, and will be home to the Eagle Spirit Tro­phy for the next 12 months.

Back at the high school sta­dium, the 2012 Fall Home­com­ing Can­di­dates and Court will be intro­duced at 7:05 p.m., fol­lowed by the crown­ing to the 2012 Fall Home­com­ing Queen.

The 2012 Fall Home­com­ing Queen can­di­dates are Mag­gie Fer­gu­son, Natalie Chat­ter­ton and Ali Malik. Their escorts are Dom Zitello, Car­son Chat­ter­ton and Adam Sha­heen, respectively.

Under­class home­com­ing court mem­bers are juniors Olivia Daggett and Micah Arbo­gast, sopho­mores Avery Kerns and Nick Guglielmi, and fresh­men Sarah Hat­field and Jacob Young,

The Home­com­ing foot­ball game against vis­it­ing Mount Ver­non kicks off at 7:30 p.m.

On Sat­ur­day, the home­com­ing dance will be held from 8 to 11p.m. at the high school. Tick­ets are $7 pre­sale and $10 at the door.

Dance orga­niz­ers are still seek­ing chap­er­ones so if any­one would like to vol­un­teer con­tact stu­dent coun­cil advi­sor Angie Stooks­bury at < angiestooksbury@bigwalnut.k12.oh.us > or the stu­dent coun­cil email mail­box at < bwhsstudentcouncil@gmail.com >.
