Homecoming Plans Announced
The MHS Student Council has announced plans for Homecoming 08. Homecoming will be a different week this year as the Homecoming Football Game is on a Thursday night. The Homecoming Dance will be held on Friday night, October 3, after the volleyball matches.
The festivities will begin on Saturday, September 27 with the traditional parade, tailgate party, and carnival. This year all the money raised will benefit the McKinney SPCA. MHS clubs and organizations will set up booths (i.e. face painting, basketball toss, ring or hula hop toss,.....). Elementary and middle feeder schools have been invited to participate in the parade and to stay for the carnival. Please contact the MHS Student Council to find out more information on how your club or organization can help make this year's parade and tailgate a fun time for all.
