Dress Up Days, food drive, penny a point and more

Homecoming is a wonderful community event in Sparta!! As a thank you to their town, Sparta students include community service as part of their Homecoming festivities each year!!
Two of our all time favorites are back this year!

Penny a Point--Each year classes compete to see who can raise the most money for their class and the Spartan Angel Tree Program (which provides holiday gifts for families in Sparta). Advisers collect money ranging from pennies to checks and Choice One Bank generously sorts and counts for the classes. The winning class earns points toward the "Red Apple" and helps the community!! The competition ends at 8 am on Wednesday October 12th.

Food Drive: Every year classes also collect food items for a local food bank. This year we are again helping with the food bank at Peace Lutheran church. Classes collect non perishable food items which count as one point for each packaged unit. Packages cannot be broken into smaller unites to count as additional items. Baby food and diapers count as additional points. Class advisers collect and count food items. This competition ends on Thursday, October 13th.

Also as a way to unify our classes, we participate in school-wide dress up days each of the 6 days leading up to Homecoming Day!! Our theme this year is a trip around the world. Please see the list below for each day's theme.
School Dress up Days are:
