Homecoming Week

Homecoming week is supposed to be fun and all based around the homecoming game and showing school spirit. Participating in all the activities throughout the week is just a way of showing you like to be involved and that you support your school and your Pioneer Football team.

Although homecoming week is supposed to be based around the football game, I think another big part of homecoming for me and my fellow students has always been the Homecoming Dance. What is a homecoming week with Homecoming Court and Homecoming Queen with out the dance? It has always been spirit week, Friday night football game, and the we danced.. I do not see why this year should have been any different.

I do not know about you but I am super excited about the game! I know the Pioneers will pull through with a win like they have all year so far. (knock on wood) And with a little support from the rest of Pioneer Nation I do not see it being difficult for them to pull through with yet another triumph. Our boys have worked hard for where they have gotten and I do not see them letting us down now. So be afraid of the dark Chickasaws, very afraid!

Book Review: Chasing Brooklyn By: Lisa Schroeder pgs.412

A girl, lost inlove, and haunted in her dreams. Just a year ago Brooklyn lost her first love Lucca. And Nico lost a brother. Now Brooklyn is haunted by her friend Gabe who just recently died of an overdoes. And Nico by his brother. Gabe trying to teach Brooklyn to let go of fear and let in love again, and Lucca trying to tell Nico to help Brooklyn learn to love again.

Brooklyn, one of the two main characters in the book, is very depressed at first. Understandibly of course. She is just really scared, that is until she gets closer ti Nico. Nico is the other main character in the book. He is a year older than Brooklyn, and looses himself in running, his get away from the world. And his depressing house without his brother, and now recently with out his best friend Gabe. Both characters learn to find strength and warmth in each other. Which is why I love this novel so very much.

The setting in this novel is very modern. Everything in the book is very relatable. It doesnt give and exact location. But I know they were located somewhere near a beach.


Chasing Brooklyn was the first of Schroeder's line of books, all of which connected in a little way. I loved this book and just finished the second. I really think you should check them out. Major props to Lisa Schroeder. Thank you:)
