Ram Pride was on full display during the West Hempstead Secondary School’s annual Homecoming celebration on Oct. 4.
Students, teachers and administrators of the school district took part in the Homecoming Parade, marching from Chestnut Street School and down Hempstead Avenue, to arrive at West Hempstead Secondary School.
The Secondary School’s marching band and cheerleaders helped keep spirits from the parade to the game, leading cheers and helping marchers stay merry and performing fight songs and dances during the Rams match against the Lawrence High School Golden Tornadoes.
At the end of the parade, West Hempstead Secondary School held a Homecoming Carnival with carnival games to entertain students, along with raffles and other fundraising efforts.
The West Hempstead Secondary School’s Key Club held a ‘Stuff the Bus Food Drive’ before the football game. Non-perishable food items were collected at the football field and all district schools and donated to people in need.
The Rams beat the Golden Tornadoes during the Homecoming Game, winning with a final score of 28-12.
