Not too many people know what work has gone on behind the scenes to get ready for homecoming. So many people are involved with making this a great night for GHS. First of all you have to take your hats off to Becky Wright and Kristen Maksimchuk. These two great ladies are sponsors of our Student Council. They were a big force behind all of the events of the week. They work tirelessly directing our students and helping them organize such a large community event. They plan the parade, powder puff, snake dance, 1/2 time ceremonies, float building, after game dance and so much more. They also happen to be in the middle of planning for the State Student Council Convention. Besides all that, they also have to teach classes everyday. (their other job!) You also have to give a big hand for the GHS Aims committee that organized shirt sales, the pep session, float building, and generating school spirit for the week.
Lastly, I am eternally grateful for John Bennett and Greg Griffin for their hard work. I get so many compliments about how great our football field looks. These two guys are the reason. When everyone else was spending the day-off at the Fair. They were working all day getting the field ready for the game. Greg designed the center of the field. He and John laid it out and painted it by hand. They started early this morning and worked straight through lunch to get the field done. Greg went home, changed clothes and came right back to help set off the fireworks during and after the game. John put the final touches on the field cutting it at about 4 oclock. He then climbed the light poles at the field to get some great pictures. (I am including them. ) John doesn't get enough credit for his hardwork and dedication to our wonderful facilities. Thanks Griff and John!
About the only thing that could have made this a perfect week would have been a win. Oh, well. We can't have everything!
