The Homecoming Whirlwind

Homecoming week is quite a whirlwind. My son said, “There is so much going on this week,” as he left the house to go back to school again. Being on the football team meant that he had practice every day during some of the festivities. Not only did he have football practice, but he was also running back to school for practices for the powderpuff game. The powderpuff game is when the boys are the cheerleaders, and the girls play the football game. Max was a cheerleader, and he went to the practices to learn the cheer, dance and stunts. I take pride when I say that he gets all his cheerleading moves from me!

My son is a senior and my daughter is a sophomore. This means they were both super busy the week of homecoming. I love that my daughter has gotten so involved in school. Being part of the executive committee led to her involvement in the float, parade, pep rally, movie night, decorating for homecoming, etc. I was so proud of Max for all the practices he went to that week along with all the activities he attended. I was so proud of Ella for going to every event and for helping and enjoying them all.

Mom tip: Encourage your kids to get involved. Ella went to so many more events this year because she was involved in planning them! Make suggestions of things they can join or ask teachers for recommendations of what your children can become a part of at school.
