MEEKER I Homecoming activities are happening all week at Meeker High School. Events started Monday and culminate in a volleyball match and Homecoming dance Saturday.
Monday afternoon, the students gathered for a pep assembly, followed Tuesday evening by teacher vs. student dodge-ball.
Wednesday evening saw the Powder Puff football game while today’s action includes the annual car smash during lunch/period 7A, and the Ruff and Tuff Peach Fuzz volleyball match in the MHS gymnasium at 3:15 p.m.
Today at 7 p.m. there will be a special access, not-school-sponsored bonfire held at the fairgrounds. The fire will be held for MHS students and parents of the students at MHS and no other persons, the high school announced. No Meeker residents and no students’ siblings will be allowed to enter the area around the fire because the bonfire is not school sponsored and, therefore, is not covered by school district or high school insurance.
On Friday, there will be a barbecue from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. with the Homecoming floats lining up at 12:30 p.m. At 1 p.m. the 2014 MHS Homecoming Parade will begin with the procession making its way through downtown Meeker, utilizing Main Street.
Another pep assembly will follow the parade.
The major sports events of Homecoming will include the MHS volleyball squad hosting Hotchkiss with matches at 1, 2 and 3 p.m. in the MHS gym.
At 7:30 p.m., the 6-1 Meeker boys’ football team will kick off against Grand Valley at Starbuck Stadium.
On Saturday, the girls’ volleyball team will battle Hotchkiss at 1, 2 and 3 p.m. with the Homecoming dance running from 8 p.m. to midnight. The dance will be held at the Meeker School District Administration building. The dance will also be when the Homecoming royalty is introduced, set for 10 p.m.
