NEIRAD Roving Reporter:
What's Your Favorite Part of Homecoming?
Homecoming came sooner than expected this year with an early October kick off. The school is getting into the spirit with a chance to get away with wearing pajamas to school and then dressing up like a superhero the next day. We talked to kids to find out what they felt was the best part of the week.
Sophomores Katrine Ryan and Julia Franco
"Pep rally because it is full of school spirit"
Juniors Marguerite Morgan, Carly Berizzi, Catherine Lincoln
"Pep rally in caf in morning, finding out what sports teams are dressing up as in the morning."
Senior Emma Getsinger
"Dressing up with teams."
Junior Matt Lee
“I am a junior studier, soon to be a senior studier. I am dressing up as a nerd.”
Junior Sara Shaker
“My favorite part of Homecoming is the different fall sports all cheering in the cafe in the morning."
Junior Katie Vodola
“Watching all the fools dress up.”
