We are a week away from one of Midlothian’s most participated community events each year…Homecoming!  The 2012 Midlothian High School Homecoming will be celebrated the week of October 22 with community festivities concluding with the varsity football game between the Panthers and the South Grand Prairie Warriors next Friday, October 26th.

Homecoming is full of tradition…woven into the fabric of not only high school life, but the entire community.  Festivities for the whole family during the coming week include:

PEP RALLY
October 24, 6:30 p.m., MISD Multi-Purpose Stadium

PARADE
October 26 at 3:00 p.m. (Download parade info and route)

• All MISD campuses will have a 2-hour early release.  (LME releases at 12:45 p.m.)
• The parade will be led by Grand Marshal Ethan Hallmark, a 6th grader at Frank Seale Middle School who was diagnosed with Stage IV High-Risk Unfavorable Neuroblastoma in 2010.
• In addition to the traditional Panther Spirit theme, the parade will feature Midlothian’s Support of the Fight to Find a Cure for Cancer.
• Best Panther Spirit and Best Fight for the Cure will be awarded and announced at the Panther Homecoming football game that evening.
• Note:  The parade will be canceled if weather conditions are unsafe.

The Homecoming Game is Friday, October 26 at 7:30 p.m. At MISD Multi-Purpose Stadium:

• The Homecoming Court will be recognized during halftime and the Queen and King will be crowned.

We hope you join us for several of the festivities throughout the week.  Elementary students are allowed to wear their athletic and community-sponsored apparel on Friday during school to show their Panther pride and spirit.  Our Miller PTO is selling Panther spirit items in the cafe during lunches on Wednesday and Thursday next week; a note went home today with students.

It’s true, there’s no place like home; home is where your story begins!  Happy Homecoming Week 2012!  🙂
