Homecoming season is beginning. Schools celebrate alumni coming back to the universities or colleges with dances, special football games, tailgating, and more.
High school homecoming includes a week long celebration of special dress days (hat day, crazy sock day, crazy hair day) ending with spirit day where everyone wears school colors. The homecoming game is a home game (a game at the school) on Friday and a semi formal or formal dance at the school on Saturday.
Homecoming is an important part of school culture in the fall.

Repeating is fine, but little variations keep your brain from going on autopilot. A simple little change up activates different memories and parts of your brain and builds new pathways.
