Pillow fights and dodgeball among activities participated in by students, staff

Saratoga Middle High School kicked off its homecoming week on Monday with a pep rally which included a pillow fight between Principal JD Johnson and senior Skyler Wood.

During the pep rally, the homecoming court was crowned with Wood and Madi Johnson crowned as the Homecoming King and Queen. As part of the rally, the Saratoga Panther mascot took the Southeast Cyclones—portrayed by Griffin Bartlett—to the mats.

On Tuesday, students and staff participated in a dodgeball tournament organized by the SMHS Student Council. Each round saw different classes face off in the Panther Den, ultimately ended up with the senior class and SMHS staff being paired up against other classes.

On Wednesday, both Saratoga Middle High School and Saratoga Elementary School competed in the Homecoming Olympic Games.

On Thursday, the SMHS students will compete in a Lip Sync Battle. On Friday, the homecoming parade will begin at 1:00 p.m.
