Homecoming Festivities

What an incredible week of Spartan Spirit! From creative dress-up days to lunchtime activities and the Friday rally, it’s been great to see students come together to celebrate Homecoming Week.

A huge thank-you to our ASB team—and especially our teachers, Graham Culbara and Sydney Culbara—for the time, creativity, and energy that went into planning such a fun and memorable week for everyone. Your hard work truly made Homecoming special.

The celebration continues tomorrow at our Homecoming Football Game at 12:00 PM at Pioneer Valley High School—we hope to see our Spartan Family filling the stands and cheering loud!
