A Senior Reports on Homecoming Week

On Monday September 23, the seniors had a blast dressing up for Decades Day. While waving, yelling, and welcoming everyone who drove to school in the morning along the entrance driveway, we got very excited when people honked back at us! Following our senior dress up day, all of the high school students began decorating and participating in the fun of homecoming week!

On Tuesday, everyone enjoyed coming in his or her tacky tourist wear! I’d never seen so many crazy Hawaiian shirts before in my life!! That same day, our girls and guys golf team concluded their final golf match of the year, which happened to be the State Championship. Both teams showed how hard they’d worked this year by earning fourth place overall. Also in sports, the varsity volleyball team came out victorious against IC.

Wednesday was such an exciting day! First, the student body and faculty gathered at the prayer event called “See you at the pole.” Student council chaplain Karlie Hughes, assisted by the high school grade chaplains, led the event. Soon after, high school students walked to chapel where the students were blown away by the teacher-led praise band consisting of Mrs. Fox, Mrs. Dedman, Ms. Holland, and Ms. Hopkins. After their inspiring worship, former bible teacher, Craig Daniel, spoke to the students about what it means to be an ambassador for God. His lesson was taught from 2 Corinthians 5:20. Another exciting event of the day occurred in Mrs. Jenkins’ government classes, where she allowed the students to hold debates on many current topics. To close out the day, the drama department held auditions for their fall drama, Our Town.

On Thursday, the school enjoyed seeing everyone’s costume creativity on Disney and Character day. In sports, the varsity volleyball team won their game against FACS.

Friday was HOMECOMING DAY!!! As a senior, this was quite a bittersweet day!

We had such a blast doing all the senior festivities we had waited so long to do, including riding in on the parade, yelling chants in the gym, eating in fellowship hall, and let’s not forget the confetti at the pep rally!! Although we greatly enjoyed this day, we had to say good-bye forever to participating in the pretzel game and cheering for our dominant guy cheer squad. My advice to any parent or student is to make sure you cherish moments like this!

Last week wasn’t over on Friday! Your Northpoint Christian School Marching Band traveled to Arlington High School on Saturday to compete against fourteen other bands in a major band competition. The band brought home 1^st place in their class, best color-guard, best visual effect, 2^nd place in their division, and 5^th place overall. Go band!!
