Student council outlines expanded homecoming week events, seeks community participation
Summary
Student council representative described planned homecoming events from Sept. 28–Oct. 2, including a powder‑puff game, fundraising merchandise, new activities and community invitations.
A student council representative told the Houston Public School District board the high school plans several new and returning events for homecoming week and is seeking community participation and fundraising support.
The council said plans include a powder‑puff football game on Sunday, Sept. 28; homecoming court coordination on Monday; a teacher vs. senior dodgeball game on Tuesday; a football vs. volleyball event and Big Pink volleyball game on Wednesday and Thursday; class games, float decorating, a parade, pep rally and a bonfire later in the week; and a dance after Saturday's football game. The council also plans to sell homecoming week T‑shirts and other student‑council merchandise as fundraising.
“We're gonna have a powder puff like football game,” the student said, describing the Sept. 28 fundraiser and community‑invited events. Advisors identified in the discussion were Jessica Bankers and Nikki Olsen; the student said the advisers have been “amazing so far.”
Why it matters: the expanded schedule aims to increase community involvement in school events and to raise funds for student‑council activities and student services. The board discussed logistics such as locations for events, potential use of community grounds for a bonfire and parking and timing with officials for Saturday contests.
The student council asked the board for general support and said further details such as T‑shirt vendors and exact bonfire locations will be finalized in upcoming student council meetings. The board and staff offered to help identify donation opportunities and community partners.
The student presentation was included during the board's discussion items; no formal board action was required.
