Miller Place School District Celebrates 2016-2017 Homecoming
Students Recreate "Biomes of the World" during Miller Place High School Homecoming
The Miller Place School District’s Miller Place High School recently held its annual homecoming parade and football game to celebrate the spirit and excitement of the Miller Place community. The parade featured student-designed and decorated floats recreating different biomes from around the world. The senior class designed an ocean-themed float, the junior class designed a rainforest-themed float, the sophomore class designed an arctic-themed float and the freshman class designed a desert-themed float.
The senior class was named the winners of a competition between the grades for the most innovative homecoming float, best hallway decorations, displaying the most class spirit, the most fundraising and collected the most goods for a food and goods drive. As the first place recipients, the senior class received $500 in prize money from the Student Council funds. During the homecoming festivities, each class also worked to raise money for Make-A-Wish Foundation, collecting more than $3,500 by the day’s end.
The parade began at the Miller Place Fire Department and culminated on the football field at the Miller Place High School. The Miller Place High School cheerleaders, groups of students from each school in the District, the Miller Place High School pep band and local community members marched alongside the different floats.
