Dear NP3 Pirates & Families,

This week kicks off our 5th annual Homecoming Festivities and we’re hopeful that this year will be one of the best events yet. In order to ensure all community members are on the same page, we’re providing details for each of the upcoming events (HoCo Game, HoCo Dance, Spirit Week) below.

The Games

On Thursday, October 24th NP3 High School is hosting its 4th Annual Homecoming Games! The games will run from 4:00 to 7:00 PM (with doors opening at 3:30pm). The cost to attend will be $3 with no discounts or presales for anyone attending (we will be using the funds raised to pay for our DJ and decorations for the Hoco Dance). Here is a breakdown of our game day plans:

In addition to the games and spirit squads, there will also be a variety of food and drinks being sold by Dos Tacos y Mas (tacos, nachos, carne asada fries, etc.) and face painting will be sold by our very own Art Club. The event is sure to have something for everyone and we hope to see as many students there as possible.

This event is a community event and will be open to all, so be aware that students are able to come and go as they please. Additionally, Please make sure your children are picked up on time around 7:00 PM as this is a school night and chaperones will need to get home as soon as possible.

The Dance

Our Homecoming Dance will be on Saturday October 26th from 7-10pm in the gymnasium. The dance is disco themed but students do not have to dress accordingly, attire is semi-formal. Here are some details we thought you might find helpful regarding our Homecoming Dance:

• • If your student is bringing a guest they need to arrive together and buy the guest ticket at the door, with an approved guest pass already turned in.

  • Ticket presale will begin Monday October 21st through Friday October 25th except on Thursday October 24th. Tickets are $7 presale and $10 at the door

  • Doors will open at 7pm and will close at 7:45pm, they will NOT reopen until 9:45pm please do not pick up your child before 9:45pm (due to liability reasons) and no later than 10:15pm.

  • PICK UP and DROP OFF will be at the east side of the gymnasium.

  • Student Government parents: you student will need to stay until 10:30pm after wards to help clean up.

Spirit Week

Instead of having spirit week the week OF Homecoming it will be the week afterwards. We are calling this Halloweek and Homecoming will be the KICKSTART to spirit week instead of the end of it.

• • We will begin with Class colors day the day of the Homecoming game on Thursday October 24th (Class chants will also happen during advisory on this day).

  • Then on Friday October 25th, it will be Retro (70s, 80s) day to get excited for our Homecoming dance which is on Saturday

  • The following week starting on Monday October 28th - Friday November 1st will be our Spirit Week.

    • On Halloween do not wear masks or bring any weapons.

  • Please motivate your student to participate in spirit week each day. If they are dressed up they will receive a raffle ticket each day for a chance to win a basket filled with treats!

    • The raffle tickets will be given out each morning, and the winner will be announced at lunch Mon-Fri of our spirit week!

Thank you so much and we hope these next two weeks are a blast!

If you have any questions or concerns please contact Mrs. Jennifer Hembree at jhembree@natomasunified.org.

Sincerely,

NP3 High School Student Government
