When Fall rolls around, it is not just the leaves falling and changing colors. Football season is starting and at Kingsway, it means one of the highly anticipated events of the season—Homecoming is here!
Kingsway’s Homecoming comes after the Fall Spirit Week and pep rally. Each grade competes to earn points throughout the week by dressing according to spirit week themes and winning games in the pep rally to earn the title of Kingsway’s number one class.
However, this year Kingsway’s Student Council’s plans were disrupted by some lovely rain. This rain was not coming on another day; it was coming on the day of their Fall pep rally and Homecoming football game.
But rain was not going to stop the high spirits and energy-filled hallways from multiplying in the few days leading up to Homecoming. Spirit week themes of pajama day, duo day, decades day, and lastly class colors helped elevate student engagement and enthusiasm.
The fall pep rally, although indoors and broken into two showdowns, brought fun competition and liveliness to Kingsway. The homecoming football game later that evening was a Pink Out, celebrating breast cancer awareness and featuring the awarding of the 2026-2027 Kingsway Homecoming King and Queen.
The court this year was made up of male seniors Amare Richmond, Cole DeNick, Patrick Civaterese, Jude Palazzo, Danny Casey, and Danny Berezowsky, and female seniors Sienna Botto, Chloe McNeil, Ellie Brook, Priya Burkhardt, Gabby Dixon, and Lila Storms.
Homecoming King was Jude Palazzo, and Homecoming Queen was Sienna Botto, who truly embody the spirit of the Class of 2027.
The next day was Homecoming, and this year’s theme was “A Night Under the Stars”. Kingsway’s Student Council Homecoming Committee worked tirelessly to organize and create decorations for the event.
Overall, it turned out beautifully, and the night was a memorable dance, even the first or last dance for many.
Kingsway students showed immense dedication to school pride, spirit, and festivities this October, adapting without fear or complaint. This Homecoming season was successful due to this exact spirit of a dragon: the ability to grow, learn, and adapt to anything!
