To celebrate Homecoming Week, every day next week will feature special class-created events.

Tickets for the dance next Saturday, Oct. 15, will be sold until Wednesday for $10 during all lunch periods.

“I’m most excited for the dance. I like to see all the students dressed up and dancing,” junior class sponsor Kate Deemer said.

On Monday, there will be a pep assembly where the homecoming court nominees for each class will be announced. The assembly will also feature students playing a life-sized version of Hungry Hippos.

Tuesday’s event will be a twin day, where students can dress alike with friends.

On Wednesday students will be allowed to tape new Assistant Principal Rachel Sprouse to the wall for a fee.

The annual Homecoming Carnival at Paynter will take place on Thursday from 6 to 9 p.m. The admission-free carnival will feature activities from Baldwin High School clubs.  The PTA will be providing food and games.

The homecoming football game will be on Friday, where the senior homecoming court nominees will be recognized and the team will take on Fox Chapel.
