Just a month into the new school and it is already time for homecoming activities. Bowie will have homecoming Sept. 9-13.
Bowie High School’s Athletic Booster Club will host the homecoming parade at 6:45 p.m. on Sept. 11 through downtown. Entry forms are available on the club’s Facebook page.
Lineup is first-come-first-serve when check-in begins at 5:45 p.m. Line up on Tarrant Street back toward the junior high school. Bring the entry form with you for the announcer to read. The parade will then roll out at 6:45 p.m.
After the parade there will be a “Burn Ban Bonfire” at the rodeo arena grounds. Cost is $1 per person.
Enter on the highway side of the arena. Pulled pork and barbecue chicken sandwiches will be sold with water and chips for $10. All proceeds benefit the Class of 2025 Project Graduation.
The program will feature the BHS cheer squad, the football team, music from the Mighty Marching Maroon Band and a performance from the BHS Steppers.
There will be a community pep rally from 4:30-5 p.m. on Sept. 12 at the high school.
Throughout the week Jackrabbit spirit will be celebrated and each day on all the campuses will be a specific theme or color. All clothing must still meet dress code.
