#172 of 365~Homecoming Week at BT

It was Homecoming Week at Brownell Talbot, which means five days of dressing up!

However, my favorite dress up day is always our Blue and Gold Day!

Usually Homecoming is an event at our school that comes and goes for me, but this year, it was VERY different!  As the head of Service Learning for Brownell, it's my goal to help our kids think about ways to help our two school partners-Completely Kids and YES-Youth Emergency Services. So, for homecoming, students and their families were asked to donate diapers and wipes to YES in return for entrance to the game.  The opposing team was asked to do the same as well!  When patrons came with their donation, they were then allowed to "vote" on the house float they liked best.  The House with the most donations get points, and hopefully leads them to the House Cup.  (yes, it sounds and is set up just like Harry Potter)  Check out these creative floats!!!

Homecoming at Brownell also is an opportunity for Alumni to come back to campus, see the improvements, meet up with old friends, and enjoy the Brownell Talbot Raiders under  Friday night lights.  Nick decided to meet up with a few of his friends and say hello to some teachers.

After the Raiders won, we carted off all the donations to YES.  It was overwhelming to see the generosity of the Raider family and I know the individuals receiving the donations will be blessed and grateful.
