Homecoming at Burton was extremely fun this year! The theme of this year's homecoming was "The Raider way. Here to stay" to emphasize the 65 years of tradition that Burton has.

Everyone anxiously awaited the week so they could dress crazy and show off our school spirit.We had a lot of themes and amazing activities this week:

Monday-America Day(Wear red, white, and blue)
Tuesday-Tie dye vs Camo( Wear either tie dye or camo)
Wednesday-Holiday Day(Wear your favorite holiday)
Thursday-Decade Day (Wear clothing from your favorite decade)
Friday-Spirit Day (Wear your orange and Black)

Another exciting part of homecoming was the chance to crown a queen and king again.Sarah Mullins and Derrick Allen were chosen as this year's queen and king. The members of their homecoming court were:

8th grade- Carter Addison and Olivia Webb
9th grade-Xadrian Tayborn and Sareena Sergant
10th grade- Landon Bolling and Maggie Stinnett
11th grade- Najee Steele and Naomi Torres

There was a parade Thursday and all the representatives from each class rode through the parade, and each class had a float to represent the theme. The 8th grade won the float contest, and the sophomores came in second. . The band also marched and played, and the football team, the cross country team, and the cheerleaders also participated.

We also had a door decorating contest, and almost every teacher decorated their door and competed for a class pizza party. The winners were 1st-Mrs Godsey; 2nd --Ms Kinserl; and 3rd -- tie between Ms. Compton and Mrs Potter.
