Student Council Picks ‘Neon Night’ as Dance Theme
October 4, 2013
Homecoming season has quickly arrived. The anticipated homecoming game against rival Southfield-Lathrup is Friday, October 18, with the dance the following night, Saturday, Oct. 19.
Student Council has developed the theme of “Neon Lights in the Night” for the annual dance.
Andrew Green, student council advisor, says, “Students from other schools are welcome to come as long as they have a signed release form from their school’s principal.”
Destiney Drake, freshman, says she is ready for the fall dance. “I’m going with a lot of my friends so we can all have fun because this is our freshman year.” She adds, “I cannot wait.”
Deonte Gray, junior, says he and his friends plan to depart from homecoming and go to a hotel party in Southfield.

Courtney Williams, senior, admits she is a procrastinator when it comes to shopping. She says, “I will save myself the time and buy my dress online at the last minute.” She adds,” I have to go this year because I am a senior and I did not make it my junior year.”
Among all the songs that will be played at homecoming, Taylor Peagler, senior, admits she absolutely wants to hear “Geeked Up” by Young Jeezy. “That song will forever be a classic,” she says.

I like how this article gives facts and details about the attire and what to expect when you arrive to homecoming. Without this information I wouldn’t know the dress code, time, whether I need to bring my ID or theme, so I can get everything I need in order.
