"Homecoming Week", By: Ellen

     
    Homecoming week is the one week each school year that students can wear whatever zany, creative outfits they want pertaining to the theme of the day. Friday was Decades day. Students wore attire representing the culture from the 1920’s to the 1990’s. Monday was Pajama day. Students came to school dressed in their most comfortable PJs and slippers. Tuesday was twin day.  All over campus, there were twins, triplets, and even some quadruplets. Wednesday was celebrity day. The students used their creativity and dressed as their favorite celebrities and pop culture icons. Thursday was blue and white day. Students showed their wildcat spirit by wearing blue and white clothing. Blue and white day also corresponded with our homecoming pep rally and the annual founder’s day ceremony. Students gathered in the gym as we reflected on the history of Academy at the Lakes. There were five teachers who were acknowledged for achieving the commemorative ten year medals. Mrs. Stein, Ms. Pisicante, Senor Legon, Mrs. Aucoin, and Señora Estrella were recognized during the ceremony. That Friday night, the football team played in their homecoming game. The Academy community really showed their support as the team portrayed great sportsmanship and brought their academy wildcat pride to the field. On Saturday night, the upper division had their annual homecoming dance in the gym. The gym was decorated beautifully. There was an array of lights and backdrops that completely transformed the gymnasium. Homecoming week was a great success. Both students and faculty showed their wildcat pride and support!
