Howdy Week, Doo-Dah & Dance
Written by Kathy Maddoux

Sept. 4 & 5

HowdyThis week the senior class is sponsoring a fwAFA tradition:  HOWDY WEEK!


We are celebrating the new school year by having special out-of-uniform days, an elementary party (the Howdy Doo-Dah) and a secondary dance (the Howdy Dance).


The themes for The Elements dress up days (you must wear closed toe shoes and maintain standard lengths for shorts and skirts etc.) are:

  • Thursday:  Fire Day---dress in reds/oranges/yellows---be creative!
  • Friday:  Water Day---dress in blues---again, be creative.

 

Howdy Doo-Dah:  Permission slips were sent home through home-room teachers.  Please return them no later than Thursday so we can accurately plan. There will be healthy snacks, games, line dances, PRIZES, a costume contest (Western theme) and much more!  We'll take the 3rd-6th graders after school.  Please pick them up at the elementary door at 6pm!


Howdy Dance:  7th-12th grades from 7pm to 10pm. The theme is 80's!  There will be a costume contest but you don't have to dress up to have fun.  Discount tickets ($8) will be on sale Wednesday and Thursday during lunch.  Come and dance and snack and be with your friends to celebrate the return to school.
