Magical Night at Homecoming
October 15, 2019
Saturday, September 15, 2019, PVHS students had their 2019/2020 Homecoming. It was a wonderful night, yet it got out of hand in a few ways.
Homecoming was still a success. Who doesn’t love getting dressed up and taking pictures with all of your best friends, then getting to spend the night dancing around, laughing, and making memories that will last a lifetime?
Some might even say the night is magical. The theme is a huge part of Homecoming, and it really sets the mood for the night.
Student Body President, Hailee Wright, said “The main inspiration was fairy tales.” She also said “It leaned more toward the Disney side of the fairytale world but it fits!”
All the beautiful murals around campus are brought to you by the Student Council. They bring so much life to the usually drab hallways.
The green vines hanging from the ceiling by room 134 are such a creative use of paper. The Alice in Wonderland scene starting by room 204, has so many details. Don’t look past the beautiful Cinderella castle by the downstairs bathroom. They really nailed it!
Many students were spreading rumors about the night on social media, such as kids getting drugged at the dance. Or some said there was a fight resulting in a stabbing.
It really isn’t clear where or how these rumors started. It might have been the result of the students being asked to leave at 10:30-10:45, which is earlier than the advertised ending time, which was originally 11:00. This was the decision made as a result of things “amping” up.
Assistant principal, Mr. Weaver said “Rumors are rumors and kids are going to talk.”However, we did have a real emergency, we as students can learn from the events at homecoming. Mr. Weaver simply said “In an emergency situation, the emergency needs to be taken care of first.”
An obvious lesson to learn, that most of us already know from these events is that remarks on social media are not fact. Kids on the Internet usually don’t know exactly what they’re talking about.
When hearing these crazy things, it’s usually logical to brush them off or ask an adult that would know what they’re talking about.
Despite all this, Homecoming season is always a fun time around campus. It’s a great way to kick off the new school year. Let’s all give a big thanks to our Student Council.

I’m glad that you addressed the rumors that surrounded Homecoming, and this story is great. You spoke about the decor that was done by student council, and how well done most of the art looked. Homecoming was truly a magical night, and this article really adds to the dance.

I think it’s bizarre how students go off and spread a rumors that serious for people to fear being at the dances regardless of how much of a great experience it could be. However, This article was beautifully put together and it flowed very nicely. I love how you included the hall decorations and gave thanks to the student counsel. 🙂 Great job, Hailey.

I really like your article and your description of homecoming and what happened at it. The only thing I wish there was is some pictures from homecoming night, like the display of the dance and pictures of students dancing or having fun with their friends. I didn’t get to attend homecoming and wish I saw the display and was hoping, when I saw the title of the article, that I maybe could. Amazing article and you are totally right; these hallways look amazing and magical!
