Homecoming Spirit Night
A great way of kicking off Stockton’s Heroic Homecoming Weekend was with Spirit Night on the 11th of October.
One of the first things to happen was the crowning our Stockton’s Homecoming King and Queen. I can tell that the competition was tough this year because everyone did a great job campaigning, and I liked the creative videos that they came up with. In the end, Matt and Laura were crowned as the king and queen.
A lot of Stockton’s clubs were able to let the audience know of upcoming events and fundraisers. One club in particular that did something different was Stockton’s Sign Language Club. They signed the Taylor Swift Song “Shake It Off”. It was cool to see them all get really into the song and show everyone how fun learning sign language can be. Stockton’s dance team and cheerleading team both had performances. It was clear that all of their hard work paid off.
The sport teams were able to give themselves a little introduction of how their season was going. I was surprised at how well some of our teams’ records were. For example, our basketball team’s record for the past season was 25-5. Our baseball team also had a pretty strong record. Other teams such as the soccer and field hockey teams were trying to finish off their seasons strong, and they had exciting matches coming up against Ramapo and Rowan.
After the program was over everyone was able to get t-shirts for our Homecoming Weekend and have some pizza. Spirit Night was followed by an event hosted by the SET club. There was a comedy show featuring Nicole Byer and Kevin Barnett. It attracted a larger audience. I was familiar with the comedians because they are on the MTV show Girl Code and Guy Code. They are just as funny in person as they are on MTV. A lot of their jokes were about finding humor in themselves and their flaws. It’s good for everyone to be able to laugh at themselves and any situations that may come their way.
Overall Spirit Night was a fun and exciting way to get everyone ready for the Osprey Ball that followed the next day.
