One blustery fall day, 6th grader, Billy, witnessed the magic of homecoming at his sister’s high school. He had heard about the tradition, which started a hundred years ago, to welcome alumni back and celebrate school spirit. Billy saw the school painted in vibrant colors, with banners and posters. He learned about the exciting events leading up to the big game - the themed dress up days, the election of the homecoming court, and the parade. On the night of the homecoming game, Billy watched as the entire community cheered on the school’s football team. He saw parents, students, and teachers united in their support. After the game, there was a dance, where his sister, dressed in her finest, was crowned homecoming queen. Billy felt the spirit of unity, the joy of celebration, and the warmth of homecoming. It was an insight into a tradition that represented more than just a game - it was about community, togetherness, and pride.
