I have some very important news regarding the Homecoming game and ceremony tonight. Zalma has cancelled on us tonight due to flooding. They are being dismissed at noon today. We WILL still have the Homecoming ceremony tonight starting at 7pm. The doors will open at 6pm for spectators and candidates. The cheerleaders will kick the night off with their dance routine then we will immediately start the homecoming ceremony. We would love for you to still attend the ceremony tonight. Again. No basketball game tonight, but we are still having the Homecoming Ceremony starting at 7pm. We can't wait to see everyone there.
Please let me know if you have any questions and we will see you tonight.

Good evening BlueJay Fans. Saddle up cowboys and cowgirls, it looks to be a Wild Week for Homecoming.
Monday 1/8: HSGB BCS Conference TRN @ Meadow Hts vs Puxico 6:30pm.
Tuesday 1/9: HSBB @ Leopold (full JV/Varsity) 6pm
Wednesday 1/10: HSGB BCS Conference TRN @ Meadow Hts 6:30pm (if we win on 1/8) vs Meadow Hts; HSBB @ Crystal City 5:30pm, 2 qtrs of JV, full Varsity.
Thursday 1/11: HSGB BCS Conference TRN @ Meadow Hts TBA Depending on outcome from earlier in the week. We could either play at 4:30, 6:00, or 7:30.
Friday 1/12: Homecoming Game Wild Wild West Theme - HSBB vs Zalma, 2 qtrs of JV, full Varsity 6pm. Ceremony will take place after the varsity game.
Now here is the fun part. I think the weather predictors have ruled out any snow early in the week, but I hear rumblings of possible winter weather later on in the week, like Friday into Saturday. I will keep you updated if we have any changes or postpone any activities. Happy Homecoming week.
I have attached a copy of the themes for this week. Don't forget to dress up in your best western attire on Friday.
Good luck to both the boys and girls this week.
