| Clark Prep scholars at the African American Museum |
Homecoming is only two days away and Clark is gearing up in
the best way possible. Spirit Week is in its fourth day – Thursday is Twin Day
– and tomorrow is Bulldog Pride Day. This Wednesday, College Day in Spirit Week lingo, students took interims, freshmen visited college campuses and sophomores participated in
their first of four Service Learning events for the year. Freshmen
ladies went to Dillard and the gentlemen went to Tulane. Sophomores went to Animal Rescue New Orleans, the African American Museum as part of the Claiborne
Corridor Project, Second Harvest Food Bank and Grow Dat Youth Farm. Scholars finished the project taking pictures of the murals under the I-10
Corridor, they learned a lot!
Now that Homecoming is closer, plans for the Pep Rally are being practiced by the band, athletic teams and the Homecoming Court in the afternoons.
The Homecoming Court has been preparing
their statements for Pep Rally and the Homecoming Game. Ms. Freshman, Kerrielle
Eaglin, has a lot of Clark Prep pride so she loves staying after
school to dance, participate in Wellness Wednesdays and help Mr. Durand,
Clark’s Director of Athletic and Enrichment Programs. With this being her first
year of high school, she is very happy to be on the Court – and received a lot
of congratulations! Ms. Eaglin is looking forward to joining Clark Prep’s new
poetry slam club called Silence is Violence and hopes to spread her love for
Clark to other students so that they too participate in all that Clark offers.
The Homecoming Court will be helping set-up for the week's festivities like the Homecoming Dance, one of the many highlights on the
Homecoming agenda. After the Homecoming football game on Saturday, October 6 at
2:30 p.m. at Pan American Stadium in City Park, the student dance will be held
from 8:00-11:00 p.m. in the Clark Prep Gym. Students are
excited about the dance, but I think they are just as or more pumped for the big
highlight – the Homecoming Game! LHA’s Band will be playing at the game to keep
the motivation high and the fists pumping. A strong, loyal group
of Clark Alumni will be running an Alumni Tent selling Clark swag, from shirts
to hats. Are you a Clark Alum? Stop by the tent and talk to your fellow
Alumni, we would love to keep in touch with you!
