Today is Monday, September 10th, and it is an A Day.
Homecoming Week is next week September 17th-September 21st. The theme of Homecoming Week is: ‘Forever Yonge.’ The idea is to always be a kid at heart.
Get ready to show your school spirit all week by dressing up for the following Dress up Days:
Monday-Character Day Monday (Dress up as your favorite TV, Movie, or Book character)
Tuesday-Twin Tuesday (Imitate another person’s clothing)
Wednesday- Decades Day Wednesday (Dress up in the clothing of a famous decade like the 50s, 60s, 70s, etc.)
Thursday- Spirit Day Thursday (Show your Blue Wave Spirit)
The three best dressed students each day will win Chick-fil-A lunch for a day. To participate you must show up in front of the cafeteria by 8AM each morning during Homecoming Week dressed to fit the theme. The results will be announced each afternoon.
The entire student body will also vote for the best dressed teacher each day. To vote go to the Student Government Twitter account and click on the link.
Also get ready for Dime Wars. The grade level who raises the most money for DimeWars will have a pizza party for everyone in the grade in both middle and high school.

The BlueWave Homecoming Parade will take place at 9AM on Thursday September 20th. All participating students should check in with their first period teacher and then report to your parade activity or area.
