It was “Game On” for homecoming and spirit week at Mount Paran Christian School. Spirit week was filled with fun daily dress-up themes and activities. The week culminated with a Friday afternoon all-school parade that included the Shelton the Eagle mascot, the school’s Soaring Eagle Marching Band and color guard, the cheer squad and football team, and the video game themed-high school parade floats. Featured in the parade were the homecoming court representatives, as well as the volleyball team, who heads to the State championship game this Saturday.
Following the parade, middle and high school students participated in a pep rally to pump up the crowd for Friday night’s final home football game of the season.
Despite the rain, the “Blackout” pre-game tailgate and Alumni Association homecoming dinner welcomed both current MPCS families and alumni to campus for a time of fellowship before the MPC football team took to the field against North Cobb Christian. The MPC Eagles won the night, securing a No. 2 playoff seed.
During halftime of the game, the MPCS Alumni Association presented its annual awards, recognizing former Head of School Susan King as Honorary Alumna of the Year and Beau O’Dell ’06 as Distinguished Alumnus of the Year. The homecoming court was presented, and senior Paige Armstrong was chosen by her peers as this year’s homecoming queen.
As part of the week’s festivities, MPCS students from preschool through high school contributed non-perishable food items to benefit MUST Ministries as part of the school’s annual fall food drive. Students in middle and high school competed to see which grade would collect the most food to benefit neighbors in need. In all, more than 4,600 pounds of food were collected to benefit ministry partner MUST Ministries’ food pantry.
