Behind the Homecoming Dance

ST. GEORGE - The theme for this year’s homecoming “Flying without wings” has had a tremendous amount of work put into it.



Many months of planning, choosing the theme, selecting where the dance is, and many other tasking things, also because the amount of effort put into this year’s homecoming is so great the dance is the best way to start off a new year. 

Several key people where interviewed to find more information on the process and effort being put into bringing this dance into play.

When interviewed about the thought behind the theme, the dance director Emma Pasley from Executive council replied “Our main goal of Exec. this year is to bring back the spirit of the school, the theme of 'Flying without wings' means even though we don’t have wings we are flyers with our pride.”

This shows that the Exec. council is going beyond past years, instilling deep meanings and tradition into the ideas of homecoming.

Interviewee Emma was later asked how much time was put into the theme and stated “I’ve been planning this dance since May, I’ve also been thinking about it every day, it has been a habit to sit down and plan, for almost five months I’ve been planning this dance.”

An amount of planning to this magnitude goes to show that our Exec. council this year has brought their game to the table.

After interviewing the coordinator of the dance, Mrs. Stucki, the teacher that is in charge of the Exec-council was interviewed. When asked, what do you think of this dance compared to the other years she responded “I think they are a great group of kids planning it, I think the students will be very excited, this year the student body has more school spirit.”

Revealing the part played by teachers was important in pulling this together as well.

At the end of the interview when Mrs. Stucki was asked what else she was planning to do this year to raise spirit, she rejoined “More activities, more spirit weeks and the kids have some great things planned for the year for the students.” 

Students can expect this year to bloom into one filled with spirit and activities.
