To make homecoming a bit more exciting, we will be playing the bead game! Here are the rules:
- Everyone should have received a beaded necklace today.
- Once you get your necklace, you can challenge any other student with a necklace to a game of rock, paper, scissors.
- The loser gives ALL of their necklaces to the winner.
- The goal is to collect as many necklaces as possible.
- Once you get 5 necklaces you can play against any staff member.
- NO PLAYING DURING CLASS (unless a teacher allows it)
- If you are caught playing in class, your teacher will take all of your necklaces.
- You can only play during passing period, lunch, and in the morning before the 8:10 bell in the morning.
- On Friday at the pep rally, we will call down the people that still have necklaces for a rock paper scissors showdown.
There will be a sno-cone truck in the parking lot after school on Friday for any students or staff interested in purchasing a sno-cone. Happy Homecoming!
