Senator Square: Homecoming and fall sports coming up

Homecoming 2010 will be Oct. 4-9. We are doing things a little differently this year.

Instead of ending the week with the assembly, we will be having our assembly on Monday, Oct. 4. This will be a great way to showcase the week for the entire student body.

In addition, Homecoming Court will be honored all week long. We still will crown our King and Queen on Friday at the game.
