MHS homecoming set

By Sam Waller

It’s homecoming week at Moran with several activities on the schedule.

This year’s homecoming will recognize the Classes of 1973 and 1974 for their 50th anniversaries and the Classes of ’98 and ’99 for their 25th.

During the week, students have taken part in dress-up days such as Favorite Jersey, Disney, and Crazy Hair. Thursday, Sept. 21 (today) is Spirit Day with everyone encouraged to wear purple and gold.

On Friday, Sept. 22, an alumni volleyball match is scheduled for 6:00 p.m., followed by an alumni football game at 7:30 p.m.

A bonfire and pep rally is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. at Moran Rodeo Arena.

“If weather prevents us from having the bonfire, we’ll have a pep rally at the football field following the alumni game,” Moran principal Jo Hise said.

Saturday, Sept. 23 will get started at 10:00 a.m. with varsity volleyball against Trent.

The Student-Teacher Association program honoring the designated classes will be at 12:30 p.m. in the auditorium.

The homecoming football game against Blanket will kick off at 5:00 p.m.

The Student-Teacher Association will hold a street dance from 8:00-11:30 p.m. downtown between Pizza Mart and City Hall. Moran graduate Jeff Martin along with Matt Stapp and Ben Hatten will perform.

Admission is $15 at the gate with a $5 cooler charge. A food truck will be on hand.

The dance will include a corn hole tournament. Entry fee is $20.

Campus Improvement

Moran students taking the agriculture practicum class have been busy helping spruce up facilities around campus.

Known as the Campus Improvement Team, the eight students, who are receiving pay for their labor, have assisted the district’s maintenance department with a variety of projects.

“It’s not necessarily for homecoming,” Moran superintendent Dr. John Denson said. “It’s stuff that needed to be done anyhow. ”

Denson said the weighted funding for the class will bring the school district at least an additional $45,000 this year.

“That class pays for itself,” he said.
