With the fall season, the Burroughs ASB class has planned a lot of events related to Homecoming, seasonal sports, and more. From Sept. 29 to Oct. 14, every day will be another to look forward to!
ASB members plan these events to get students of all grade levels involved in building a stronger school community, and to urge students to try something new and fun.
“[I think it will] further encourage new students to participate in all the activities,” said Freshman ASB Representative Taylor Johnson.
The school calendar is very busy with upcoming Homecoming events. Although the cheerleaders plan the Oct. 14 dance and Oct. 13 coronation, ASB coordinates several events leading up to it, including this Saturday’s painting of B Mountain.
On Oct. 5, Homecoming Dodgeball will take place. Although sign-ups are already over, feel free to come and cheer on your friends. Students formed teams by grade level, and will compete to win first place!
On Oct. 10, the Amazing Race will be held.
During the event, humans and “zombies” will be tagging each other, racing, and having fun in general. Different clubs and activities will have booths with different games and challenges for teams to participate in. Students are welcome to come and cheer for their friends.
If you are looking forward to dressing up, Homecoming Spirit Week will be from Oct. 10-13.

Powderpuff practice for all teams and sides will be from October 2, 2023, until game day.
On Oct. 12, ASB will finish their class Homecoming floats. The finished floats will be presented at Homecoming coronation.
In addition to Homecoming-related events, the school is preparing other opportunities to get involved.
