School has just started and Homecoming Week is right around the corner. Homecoming will start on Sept. 10 and continue to Sept. 14.
The designated days for “Spirit Week” voted by the Student Council include:
Monday, Sept. 10 – Ugly Sweater Day;
Tuesday, Sept. 11 – Duct Tape/Rainbow  Day;
Wednesday, Sept. 12 –  Halloween/Costume Day;

On Thursday, Sept. 13, Coronation will begin at 7 p.m. in the Woonsocket Gym. There will be introductions for Football/Volleyball/Cheerleaders, etc. and other activities including burning of the “W” built by the freshmen class.
On Friday, Sept. 14, the Woonsocket School will have their annual parade starting at 1 p.m. The theme this year (voted on by the student council) is “Soda Pop.” Businesses who are interested in participating in the parade can sign up when lining up for the parade at 12:30 p.m. by Prairie View Care Center.
The football game against the Highmore/Harrold Pirates will start at 7 p.m. in Woonsocket.
I’m also asking students and alumni to be respectful towards our community when celebrating traditions during the week of festivities.
Homecoming is arriving quickly and we hope there is high involvement in the community.  This is one of the biggest events of the year for the Woonsocket School so let’s make it memorable for everyone.  Go Blackhawks!
