Students Enjoy Homecoming Week
Homecoming Week was celebrated early this year. Homecoming Week was September 4-8. On Monday, seniors "painted the street" observing a longtime SFCHS tradition. There was no school on Monday due to the Labor Day weekend.
On Tuesday, students dressed up for "70's Day (Hippie Day)" and many were to be found in throwback costumes. The high school volleyball team traveled to Weskan and defeated the Lady Coyotes in both the varsity and junior varsity matches.
Wednesday was "Beach Day" and many students dressed in casual beach attire and looked very comfortable in their shorts and flip-flops.
Thursday was "Volleyball Appreciation Day" and students dressed-up and supported the volleyball teams in their matches against Rawlins County and Wauneta-Palisade. On Thursday evening the annual homecoming bonfire was held east of the practice field. An ice cream social sponsored by First National Bank was enjoyed by many after the bonfire.
Friday was "Green and Gold Day," and students could be found supporting the Indians by dressing in school colors. The high school volleyball and football players visited the Grade School and enjoyed eating and visiting with the younger students.
