Bonfire photo by Cole McCoy ’19
Homecoming is a great fall tradition at The Mount. During homecoming week students and staff dressed according to a different theme each day. Blackout was Friday’s game day theme and everyone dressed in black.
One of the weekday highlights every year is the bonfire (Photos) held on Wednesday evening after family night visits. The Waterloo fire department was on hand to keep the flames in check! During the bonfire the coaches for each of the fall sports, tennis, cross country, and football, presented their senior leaders and said a few words on their seasons so far.
On Friday, the final prep rally took place in the gym led by Mount Michael’s yell leaders. (Photos)
