Mixed Feelings about Homecoming’s Success
October 17, 2011
Students at Bethel High School came together to show their school spirit by dressing up for ‘Class Color Day,’ ‘Superhero Day,’ ‘Tye Dye Day,’ and ‘Wildcat Pride Day’ during the week of October 11. Student reactions were mixed after the Junior class won the pep rally and the football game ended with a disappointing 30-7 loss against Weston.
