Messmer’s 1st annual Homecoming Bash took place on October 5th 2013. The bash was created for students to celebrate spirit week and to come enjoy time with friends. Ms. Abby Demeter, a theology teacher, and Ms. Katie Schumacher, American Studies, headed up the event and made it a successful one.
Everyone enjoyed their time, teachers as well as the students. The bash centered around a dance in the gym, there was a photo booth where students could take many different pictures with their friends, pizza was served, and Wii games were played.
Ms. Schumacher said, “I thought the Bishop Homecoming Bash went really well. There was a lot of good feedback from students and faculty on how fun it was. We're already thinking about next year and stepping it up a notch!” Everyone made memories that night.
Ms. Schumacher added, “My favorite part was just seeing the fun that students were having. I didn't get to show off my dance moves too much but there's always next year. Sprinkler, anyone?”
Students were pleasantly surprised to hear about the bash. Junior Kayla Johnson said, “I was really excited. I knew it had potential to be a lot of fun. I was also initially very excited for the seniors. I think it was great that they were.. able to experience a homecoming.”
Senior Cheykese Weathers said “My first reaction when I found out Messmer was having a homecoming [bash] was happy because Messmer finally gets this wonderful experience.” Junior Ramanda Davis said, “My favorite part about the homecoming bash was being able to enjoy time with my friends and teachers, also to create many memories and pictures with the people I’ve been friends with for a long time.”
Weathers said, “The best song played at the homecoming was ‘Don’t Kill My Vibe’ because the song is very upbeat.” Everyone enjoyed their time that night at the homecoming bash. Johnson said, “I had a really good time and I hope we can continue to have more events like this.” Messmer’s homecoming bash was very successful; here's to the next one!
