Which Banner Took the Prize This Year?

By Keenbelynn Bellande

On Homecoming weekend, the classes went head to head in a competition to win it all. The Fairly Odd Freshman were fairly involved. They showed a lot of school spirit by dressing up in green tutus, eyeblack and much more! Their banner included Cosmo and representation of all classes. Way to go, Freshmen! The Super Smash Sophs smashed the competition with their creative banner. They portrayed it as a switch controller with Mario in the center kicking the competition away. The Aloha Juniors brought their A-game with their fantastic banner. They depicted the other grades through different colored hibiscus flowers. They also had a 3D image of a tiki statue. Lastly, the Suite Life of Seniors waved the competition away with their banner. They brought up some nostalgic feeling with their theme. They had a picture of their class from their senior sunset and also represented the other classes. According to the judges, the Juniors won the banner competition. The scores for all the classes won’t be revealed until Classnite.
