The dance was the final event in the homecoming proceedings. The theme for the week was “Into the Jungle.”

Beck said it was overall “a fabulous week.”

“Every event was well-attended and the students were very excited and well-behaved,” she said. “The fact that we can do all of the events that we do speaks volumes about our school and how wonderful it is. I really appreciate all of the administration, staff and parent volunteers that help to make everything happen.”

Beck said it was her hope and the vision of other organizers that the kids had a week full of “amazing memories.”
