By Kate Meis Homecoming is a week for the school and community to come together and celebrate school spirit. September 18th through the 22nd was City High’s Homecoming Spirit Week with events leading up to the big football game against Cedar Rapids Kennedy. Throughout the week leading up to the Homecoming game, Student Senate and Spirit Club curated themes for Spirit Week. The 5 days were Pajama Day, Barbie vs. Ken, Bikers vs. Surfers, Rhyme Without Reason, and Extreme Red and White. Student Senate organized the Homecoming dance, adopting the theme of “Golden Hour”. Student

Senate described the theme as “The period after the sun rises and before the sun sets. From reds and oranges to golds and blues, Golden Hour is the theme where you dress as the colors of the hour of the golden sky”. The decorations included sunset lamps, string lights, and a special themed entryway. Student Senate also organized the Homecoming Parade featuring City High’s clubs, sports teams, and band as well as the surrounding elementary schools and community. After the parade was the Powderpuff football tournament. Teams made up of girls from the Junior and Senior classes competed in a tournament-style football competition for bragging rights. 2 Tough 4 Powderpuff ended up on
