Next week is Homecoming and our student council has finalized our dress-up days.    Monday: USA Day Break out the red, white, and blue! Time to dress like a patriotic superhero or an eagle's best friend.  Tuesday: Adam Sandler Day Grab your oversized graphic tees and basketball shorts that hit your ankles! Comfort is king today, so dress like you’re ready to lounge around or play a pickup game at any moment.  Wednesday: Pink Out "On Wednesdays, we wear pink!" Channel your inner Mean Girls icon and cover yourself in as much neon, pastel, or magenta as humanly possible.  Thursday: Country vs. Country Club Are you heading to the rodeo or the golf course? Toss on your cowboy boots and wranglers or drape a sweater over your shoulders like a country club pro.  Friday: Marion Wolves Spirit Day Unleash the pack! Deck yourself out in full Marion gear from head to toe to show everyone what Wolf Pride really looks like.
