Homecoming多姿多彩的“返校節”

Near the end of football season in US， schools usually hold a celebration called homecoming. Usually， the celebrations last a week and it features all sorts of fun activities such as dress up days， a parade， a homecoming dance， and of course， the big football game.

Homecoming festivities usually kick off with spirit week. These are days when teachers and students can come to school dressed up in a fun costume to fit with the theme of the day. “Backwards Day” is the day students could wear their clothes backwards. Or “Dress as a Famous Person Day” and all around school you saw people dressed as Lady Gaga， Harry Potter， and many more.

The other festivities of homecoming often take place during the school day. Classes are cut short. On Friday afternoon classes are usually dismissed at noon so that the school can attend the homecoming parade. The cheerleaders will cheer， the band will play， and the football players will ride around in a truck. After this， clubs will hold booths around the school so students may take the afternoon to do what they wish.
