From Adam Sandler dress up days to football games and movie nights, Homecoming week was a success. Homecoming week is an opportunity to create unity in schools. 

Bountiful, Farmington, Woods Cross, and Viewmont High School had Homecoming this past week. Deanne Kapetanov, Principal at Woods Cross, said it best. 

“During Homecoming week, students had many opportunities to connect with each other and become more integrated at Woods Cross High, where everybody is somebody.”

Students participate in fun dress up days throughout Homecoming week such as cowboy/cowgirl day, beach day, and even socks and sandals day. Libby Lake, a senior cheerleader at Woods Cross High, said that her favorite dress up day is Adam Sandler day.

Students also enjoyed the everyday activities held after school, such as chalk art, movie nights, and even a luau. 

“I think Homecoming week creates unity in the student body by bringing them together to hang out a lot because there are so many activities everyone can be a part of,” said Isabelle Lowe, student body officer at Viewmont.

Football games are always an exciting event of Homecoming week. Students rally together to cheer their teams on to a win. 

“I’m super excited for the football game,” said Sam Stevenson, receiver on the Bountiful High football team. “Box Elder is a good opponent and we’re excited to get to play against them.” Each team played on their home field and were cheered on by their peers win or lose.

Of course, the dance is the best part about Homecoming week. School dances are a way everyone lets loose and has fun. The awkward slow dance conversations, exhilarating dance circles, and sweaty mosh pits make for a perfect night to “Dance in the Moonlight,” Woods Cross High’s Homecoming theme this year. λ
