Jonathan Law’s Homecoming dance was held on November 18 in the New Gym. Due to COVID-19, this was the first time since 2019 that Law had an indoor Homecoming dance. Senior Class Advisor Ms. Russell planned the Homecoming dance along with a group of faculty members. Advocate Staff Reporter Quinn Willett interviewed Russell about the dance.
Quinn Willett: Who was involved in the planning of Homecoming?
Ms. Russell: Myself with Mrs. Francisco and Mrs. DiPrimio – and Ms. Kelly helped with the venue change and balloon arch.
QW: What was the planning process?
MR: This was my first year planning Homecoming inside. It was tough this year because we had such a great turn out of students, we were planning on having it in the cafeteria, but once we had the final number (547 students) we needed to change it to a bigger space.
QW: How do you think it went?
JR: I think it went great! Mr. Healy did a great job in his DJ debut and I think everyone had a great time.
QW: What do you hope for next year?
MR: Next year we will plan to have it in the gym, so we can get the lighting and everything ironed out. I also hope to have a committee of students to help plan so we can have some more decorations and have some input from students.
QW: What was your favorite part of Homecoming?
MR: I was just so happy to see so many of out students together in one space, looking so fabulous and having a great time.
