Pike Homecoming 2011

When I was in high school, homecoming week was always so much fun - all of the dressing up, fun assemblies, the football game (that we usually lost), and, of course, the dance.  I have to say, that it is just as fun watching Jared be an active participant in all of the Pike events.  This year he went above and beyond on dressing up for the theme days!  

Monday- Mix-n-match Day.  Jared's students said he didn't really get this one right since he matched too much.  The funny thing is, most of his students didn't dress up at all!

Tuesday- Old School Day.  I personally loved this one- it brought back images of Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future.  I especially loved that Jared pegged his pants.  Comments from the students - that he mixed up the days and this was his nerd outfit.  Oh, they just needed to wait for the next day!

Wednesday - Nerd Day.  Now this is a nerd outfit!  Some of the administrators were a little concerned that Jared still owned pants that were that short on him.  When he explained that we had actually hemmed his pants up to complete his look he was told that he was cute!  He really knocked this one out of the park!!!

Thursday - Twin Day.  This year Jared's twin was the other Project Lead the Way teacher.  I think you can probably guess who was the most excited to dress up!!!

Friday - Pike Spirit Day.  I think this was my favorite day of the week - mostly because Tori and I were able to be a part of this one!  We all dressed up in our red and Pike gear and were able to join Jared for the last bit of Pike's carnival.  We had some yummy hot dogs, chips, and drinks - thanks to the fabulous PTA parents.  Then we got to stay for the Homecoming Game - sadly, Pike ended up losing the game - but it was still fun!!!

Yeah for Homecoming week- we can't wait for you to come around again next year!!!
