AS A STUDENT HERE AT DENVER CHRISTIAN, BEING A CRUSADER, I VIEW HOMECOMING AS A WEEK OF FUN ACTIVITIES INSTEAD OF REGULAR CLASS WHICH SLOWLY BUT SURELY DECREASES THE SIZE OF OUR BRAINS. THE ACTIVITIES GIVE US A WAY TO BOND WITH OUR CLASS AND OUR SCHOOL IN A DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT EVEN THOUGH IT IS STILL AT SCHOOL.
IT IS DEFINITELY A WORTHWHILE EVENT BECAUSE IT CHANGES UP OUR SCHEDULE FROM BORING TO FUN AND IT GIVES US WAYS TO ENJOY HIGH SCHOOL AS A WHOLE. IT MAKES THE EXPERIENCE OF HIGH SCHOOL MUCH MORE MEMORABLE AS WELL.
THERE IS A VALUE IN THE TRADITION IN THE WAYS THAT HOMECOMING HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE THE STONE'S AGES (PARENTS STILL TALK ABOUT IT) AND IT IS A GREAT MEMORY FOR STUDENTS OF ALL AGES. ALSO, THE EVENTS THAT TAKE PLACE THROUGHOUT THE WEEK ARE GREAT THINGS TO BE ABLE TO COMPARE WITH FRIENDS FROM DIFFERENT SCHOOLS AND JUST A GREAT THING TO EXPERIENCE OVER ALL.
THE CULTURE IT IS TRYING TO CREATE IS ONE WITH A FUN ATMOSPHERE AND ONE OF GREAT TIMES. IT IS SUCCESSFUL IN THIS WAY I BELIEVE DEPENDING ON WHAT ONE PERSON TAKES AWAY FROM THE WEEK AND THE NIGHT OF HOMECOMING. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS A POSITIVE ONE.

Yeah I agree with what you are saying that it depends on what each individual takes away from the week. I feel like if the seniors take the week seriously and try and make as much school spirit as possible, the whole school will join in. But if the seniors act like it isnt cool or something, so will everyone else... leading to a lame homecoming week. Same goes for blue crew! Go BBALL!
