Homecoming festivities all this week

Columbia Falls High School celebrates homecoming this week. The student council invites the community to join in celebration by decorating businesses in blue and white or creating a Wildcat spirit space. They want people to dress in blue and white on Friday. The students also suggest that companies have a tailgate party for employees and customers.

This week students dressed up for spirit days. Monday was college day and Tuesday was world traveler/tourist day. Wednesday is multiplicity day when two or more people dress alike. On Thursday, seniors wear black, juniors wear red, sophomores wear pink, freshmen wear orange and teachers wear purple in a school-wide color war. The week will end with freedom Friday and the entire community dressing in blue, white and red.
