School and Homecoming in America
Hi, my name is Major I am an american student. I attend Kennedy High School. Here in America we have a week we call "Homecoming Week". During this week we show our school spirit and everyday of homecoming week we have a theme and we dress a certain way. We also have a pep fest. At the pep fest the whole school gathers together and we have fun events and we cheer on our class and show support to our football team, and have performances to give students chances to show their talent. Also at the pep fest we choose a homecoming queen and king and they get bragging rights for the year and its always a good memory to have. The whole point of Homecoming week is to again, show school spirit and also get our football teams ready for their home game, which they play at their home stadium. Following the game we hold the traditional Homecoming dance. The dances are fun at most schools but I'm sad to say that at our school its not that fun because we have to many rules and the staff doesn't let us get that normal high school experience. Other than the staff homecoming week/dances can be very fun and I'm sure if you could experience it you would love it.
