Sheridan High School’s homecoming week took place from Oct. 12-16. This year looked a bit different than in the past due to COVID-19; however, the SHS student council did their best to include and involve as many students and events possible into the week.

Spirit week started off with pajama day on Tuesday, pink day on Wednesday, vacation day on Thursday, and blue and gold day on Friday. There was no school on Monday due to a teacher-in-service day.

   On Monday, Oct. 12, The powder puff football games started at 7p.m. with the juniors playing against the sophomores and the seniors playing against the freshman. In the second round, the fight for first place was between the sophomores and seniors. “I really become my most competitive self during powderpuff and it’s super fun,” said senior Aria Heyneman. As the two class teams battled it out for the top spot, it ultimately ended up being the senior powderpuff team that won this year’s tournament.

   Burning of the Bronc took place on Thursday, Oct. 15. The band and cheerleading team showed up to play music and dance before the Burning of the Bronc.

I was having fun every minute of the game.”
