CHS GIves Back - Homecoming 2012

2012 Fall Homecoming will take on a different feel that in the previous 50 years of homecoming events at Chesterton High School.  Student Council has selected a theme of “CHS Gives Back” as it has shaped a homecoming week focused on raising funds for charity and highlighting important causes.  Spirit week days highlight the causes with Monday as CHS v. Cancer day, Tuesday, as Support our Troops Day, Wednesday as Support a Cause of Your Choice Day, Thursday is Go Green Day, and Friday is the traditional Maroon & Gold Day.

 

To further highlight the spirit days and theme, Student Council is forgoing the traditional homecoming float for a unique project focused on charity and community - Homecoming Playhouses.  Each of the five playhouses will be constructed by the CHS Building Trades Program.  Funding for each building has come from co-sponsorship between each graduating class and a local business.  Students and staff will provide the decorative design for each house based on a selected charity.Houses will then be showcased to the community during the Homecoming Parade and before Homecoming football game on September 21'st. Following those events, houses will be placed up for auction on ebay with the 100% of the proceeds of the auction going for the corresponding charity.

See the information to the right to determine the charities and sponsorship associated with each house.
