The meeting attendees agreed that WestWood should start celebrating Prior Lake Homecoming by participating in Spirit Week.
The kids would participate in certain activities each day of the week.
Example: one day could be wear pajamas, the next could be wear a hat, another day could be crazy hair day, etc. The final day would be wear Laker Pride gear.
The PTC would be responsible for creating a flyer to send home announcing the week and what the staff approved activities are.
The date of homecoming is not listed on the district calendar.
Need to find out when that is.
