Homecoming - Color Day and Pepfest

Homecoming 2010 will be remembered for the 8" of rain that fell in Cannon Falls on Thursday, and the flooded Cannon River on Friday! Thursday was Color Day, and 1st grade celebrated by wearing purple.

Here we are!

I just had to take a "goofy face" picture, too.
Friday was Spirit Day and most of the kids wore red and black. I was planning to take a picture after lunch, but we ended up going home early due to the rising water in the Cannon River, so no picture. Oh well.
The HS kids came to the Elementary in the morning for a pepfest.


The kids filed into the gym, looking a bit unsure about what was about to happen.


We found a place to sit, and we listened to the Pepband.

We made signs on Thursday afternoon so we were all ready to cheer the Bombers!

The Pepband played again as we all stood and sang our school song.

The cheerleaders performed some great cheers.

Wow! They're really good!

Then we met the captains of the volleyball, cross country, tennis, and football teams.
Finally, we got to meet all of the 2010 Cannon Falls Homecoming royalty!

And.... the king and queen for 2010! Congratulations!

Several of the royalty are former students of mine. Who knows if some of this year's 1st graders will be future CF Homecoming royalty??
