Homecoming Week Activities

We are pleased to announce a full week of fun for Homecoming. Mark your calendars!

• ALL WEEK: Penny Wars! Students can bring in change (pennies count to the positive while nickels, dimes and quarters count to the negative) to battle it out for House pride, bragging rights and a good cause!
• Monday at 6:30PM: Join the Guardians for Life for the 40 Days for Life Kick-off in front of Planned Parenthood with speakers Ramona Trevino, a former Planned Parenthood manager, and Fr. Drew Olson. Here is the flyer.
• Tuesday Afternoon: Senior High goes to the American Players Theater for a taste of Shakespeare!
• Wednesday at 5PM: Cheer on the Varsity soccer team for the FIRST HOME SPORTING EVENT at Holy Name Heights — make history! Enjoy root beer floats after the game.
• Thursday at Lunchtime: We will host the All-School “Tailgate” Hot Lunch. Read more below.
• Friday from 6:30-8:30PM: The Antonios host the entire Junior High for a bonfire with s’mores and games!
• Saturday from 7-10:30PM: The Homecoming Dance closes out the week!

Homecoming Dance (Saturday): Tickets Now on Sale!

All senior high students are invited to the 2024 Homecoming Dance “Under the Stars” on Saturday, September 28, 2024, at the St. Francis Xavier Fellowship Hall (2947 Thinnes Street Cross Plains, WI 53528) from 7:00-10:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 and now on sale during school lunch.

Now is the time to check out the dress code information (the only update is clarifying that girls’ dresses should cover the back up to the bottom of the shoulder blades — no back cut-outs), review the dance information, fill out permission slips and share them with your student’s guest’s parents (as applicable). Every attendee must have a signed permission slip, even guests.

Junior High Bonfire (Friday): Please RSVP and Help Out!

The Antonio family is graciously hosting the Junior High Bonfire on Friday, September 27, 2024, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at their Brooklyn home (5676 Alpine Drive in Brooklyn). This is an exciting new Homecoming Week tradition! We need to have parents donate graham crackers, chocolate bars, and glow sticks as well as attendees to RSVP and bring lawn chairs/picnic blankets and yard games, if possible. Sign up and RSVP by clicking the “Junior High Bonfire” button below. We still have a need for yard games, chocolate bars, glow sticks and one chaperone!

NEW! All-School Tailgate Hot Lunch

Thursday, September 26

We are excited to provide a “Tailgate” — brats, hot dogs, chips, clementines/apples, lemonade, and dessert — for the whole school next Thursday.

$15 charged through FACTS for each student will cover the main dishes for EVERY hot lunch offered this year, including the brats, hot dogs, and buns this time.

Already, we have nearly all the food donations that we need — thank you! However, we do still need desserts! Click the button below to read more on the Hot Lunch SignUp Genius and sign up for a dessert donation.

REMINDER: Food donations do not count toward service hours but are an important component to these lunches. You CAN earn service hours as a lunch crew volunteer. Volunteers would need to be at school from 11:45-12:45. Sign up for these 2 slots are listed below.

ALLERGIES AND OPT OUT: We will have a gluten-free dessert option that will be on hand for students who request it. Participating in the hot lunches is optional. If students wish to opt out of receiving hot lunches, please let the school office know by 9/25/24.

Starbursts for All!

On Friday, to close out the school week, every SAA student gets a Homecoming treat — Starbursts, which the Seniors picked out.

Would you consider donating a big bag of Starbursts to make this happen? Click the button below to donate candy or baggies.

This is another way that Home and Connection adds fun and builds community through our volunteers!
