Ray High School will be celebrating 100 years during the 2014 Homecoming activities this week. Things got underway Monday with students participating in Spirit Week. Monday was Nerd vs Jock Day, Tuesday was Dynamic Duo Day, today (Wednesday) is Superhero Day and Thursday will be Bearcat Pride Day.
The annual bonfire will be Thursday evening starting at 7:30 p.m. Prior to the bonfire, the Bearcat Booster Club will be having a tri-tip dinner for $8 a plate.
The parade will start at 4 p.m. Friday Sept 26 with the usual route starting at the library, up Tilbury and across Alden. Students have been working all week on the annual float competition.
Other activities include fireworks both pre-game and at halftime and RHS graduate Erika Flores from Channel 3 News will be on hand to record the events for the news show’s Varsity Zone.
More surprises are in the works but need to be finalized.
