Merritt Island Christian Homecoming 2010

Another successful homecoming at MICS... the week started with our anual Lip Sync and ended with a black light pep rally and black light dance at Cocoa Beach Country Club. It was beyond a busy couple of weeks for me, as I ended up in charge of the entire week's festivities again. Thankfully, I had some awesome help this year- Leigh, my best friend and fellow art teacher, who always supports me when I volunteer "us" for "everything" and cheerleading sponsors Carri and Kylie were awesome! The pep rally was so much fun that it was worth the late nights including setting up the gym till midnight. Donna and the high school teachers performed an incredible Blue Man type of performance with tennis balls. Elvis, Mr. Bopp, showed off his moves as the emmcee of the lip sync, and 11th grader, Spencer, who won the lip sync graciously volunteered last minute to wear a blow up glow in the dark fat man suit and entertain us at the pep rally. Many students helped including our homecoming King, Alex, who ran sound for us. Without all of you and countless other helpers, we couldn't have pulled off such a great event! So thank you- all of you; you know who you are even if I did not mention you by name. Even though I was "dead dog" tired Saturday from setting up the dance all day, I grabbed some unsweet tea from McDonal's and a cappachino and headed off to Cocoa to take pictures of the students. I loved seeing them all dressed up, and I felt proud of each one of them as I spend so much time with them that I feel like they are my kidos. And as I finished taking formal pictures for the dance, and began looking around to take casual shot;s and I saw how much fun they were having, a huge smile came across my face and I thought, "this was totally worth the effort!" Here are a couple pictures from our week!
