Plainview-Old Bethpage Celebrates Homecoming 2019

Plainview, N.Y. — The Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District (POBCSD) recently welcomed hundreds of fans, community members and alumni to enjoy its annual Homecoming celebration at the conclusion of Spirit Week. The Homecoming parade featured students from all seven schools, including extracurricular groups, and members of the Board of Education and administration, who marched alongside students, parents and staff.

The parade was soon followed by the Homecoming football game and halftime show, where the high school marching band, kickline and cheerleaders performed. The Homecoming King, Andrew Zutler, and Homecoming Queen, Skylar Musick, were announced following the performances. Throughout the day those in attendance explored the POB Homecoming Village, which offered activities for all community members to partake in including Name that Broadway Tune, face painting, pumpkin decorating, blowup soccer darts, beanbag toss, basketball, and other fun activities for all ages.

The theme of this year’s Homecoming celebration was video games. Each grade level collaborated to create their own themed banners, with the grade-level winner being crowned at the game’s halftime--but it was the senior Class of 2020 who took home the win with their Super Mario Seniors banner. While the Plainview-Old Bethpage Hawks lost to the Port Washington Vikings 35-13, the Homecoming celebration achieved the goal of bringing the community together as a whole and was a huge success.
