 ADDRESS: Offutt Base Lake, Harlan Lewis Rd. Bellevue

 DIRECTIONS: There are no numbers, just Harlan Lewis Road., so map quest that for directions from your homes. If that doesn't work best way to get there is to be on Hwy 370, follow that thru old town Bellevue until you see Hancock St. at Hancock turn RIGHT, follow that down for approximately 3 miles, then turn left, cross railroad tracks, turn right and follow that until the road ends. You are there! We will be in the building that is on the left, likely the noisiest one! A few landmarks that might help: You will see a large mobile home subdivision, you will also see the Offutt flight line from the Hancock road, you will start wondering if you went to far at some point, you then have about 30 seconds before you need to turn. We will have large yellow posters staked out along the route with HSHS event on them. Follow the arrows on the signs. Posters will start on Hwy 370 and Hwy 75 intersections. SIGNS ARE WEATHER PERMITTING ONLY.                   Top Of Page  

 
RULES FOR PARTICIPATING IN HSHS HOMECOMING

PURCHASING A TICKET MEANS YOU AGREE TO ACCEPT AND FOLLOW THESE RULES

1. There will be NO refunds for Homecoming tickets. If you forget to come, don’t get the night off work ahead of time, are running REALLY late (past 8 PM), are wearing jeans, or just decide to go do something else you will NOT receive a refund under ANY circumstances.
   
   
2. HOMECOMING ATTENDEES AGREE TO READ AND FOLLOW THE OFFICIAL HSHS DRESS CODE POLICY AS FOLLOWS: All teens and their parents are encouraged to consider the feelings and perspectives of others when dressing for an HSHS event. Some of our families do feel strongly about the importance of a much more conservative appearance and we do not wish to make anyone uncomfortable under any circumstances. That being said, all teens MUST have the approval (and awareness) of their own parents when making their clothing choices for an event. If another parent feels a student’s outfit is questionable, it is probably better to choose something more appropriate, however the teen’s PARENT has the final decision. In the event that another parent or teen finds fault with the clothing choices of another teen, please contact the event coordinator, Mrs. Cahill, or Mrs. Wagster with the teen’s name. HSHS will gladly forward the parent’s phone number of the teen in question and you may address your concerns with that parent privately. Again, please remember the basic reason we all homeschool is so that we, as parents, retain the right to decide how our children are raised according to the values, beliefs, and standards of our own family. Please respect the right of other parents to raise their children how they see fit, just as you enjoy the same privilege, and recognize that we can’t all agree on everything all of the time!
   
   
3. Doors close at 8 PM! Everyone attending Homecoming must be inside the event NO LATER than 8 PM. NO EXCEPTIONS. After 8 PM you will NOT be allowed admittance and there will be NO REFUND if you are late and can’t get in. If you get lost, call Mrs. Wagster’s cell at 699-2455 with enough time to get directions and get to the event before 8 PM.
   
   
4. Once you leave the building you will NOT be allowed back in under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. This is for the safety of our teens; we can’t have people in and out of the building. Once you are in, you are in for the evening. Once you leave, you leave for the evening. No one will be allowed in and out, or to and from cars all night. In the event of an emergency, a chaperone will gladly will escort you to your car.
   
   
5. Public Displays of Affection: We ask that you respect the comfort level of those around you and refrain from kissing and other overtly public displays of affection. We will also ask that everyone refrain from “grinding” dance moves. If there are ANY problems with PDA your parents will be called to come pick you up, EVEN IF YOU DROVE YOURSELF! Remember, a phone number is required at the time of ticket registration!
   
   
6. Teens: We have never had any behavior problems that couldn’t be corrected with a short chat. You will receive ONE (1) verbal warning (short chat) from Mrs. Wagster or Mrs. Cahill about behavior that needs addressed. Any further behavior problems of any kind indicate to us that you would rather be escorted home by your parents. We aren’t kidding, we expect you to behave appropriately so a fantastic and fun time can be had by all!                                                                                       Top Of Page

Photographs:

Photographer Tom Wandel will again take photos! He does an AWESOME job and is VERY AFFORDABLE! You can get packages as low as $10.00 to commemorate your homecoming experience! Parents are not permitted in to take photos inside the event. PLEASE take all photos at home, dinner or outside the building on the lake. Once the teens are inside the photography area is for the PHOTOGRAPHER ONLY! Teens may bring cameras for candid shots only.

Music DJ:

Shawn Farrell and Sons (same as all other dances) will be our DJ again. He plays everything LOUD, so parents and Teens expect LOUD dance music. If loud music upsets you in any way, we encourage you to consider choosing an alternate HSHS event to enjoy with your friends. He encourages requests so if you have a song you want to hear REQUEST it! All music is radio edited and he has tons of great selections. For those who are interested he also has Christian songs, but like everything else it is played on request.

Homecoming Nominations:                                                                                Top Of Page 

Your 2007 Homecoming Court Nominations will be held Aug. 20-25. You may nominate only once, when nominating you may select a SENIOR guy and girl for King and Queen, while also selecting a freshman, sophomore, and junior guy and girl for the court.  Send all nominations to Mrs Wagster at pjwag68@yahoo.com or speak to her face to face, NO PHONE CALLS! We will have 1 set of representatives from each grade level. Then four sets from the senior class. The teens with the most nominations are the teens that progress to the court.  So, know that if you only get 1 nomination you are NOT guaranteed a spot on the court. Students may NOT nominate themselves, and parents are gently reminded that this is a student activity…parent’s voting will not be allowed.
