Bearcats will kick off Fall Homecoming week on Monday with a variety of activates on all four campuses in the Dexter school district.

The theme for Fall Homecoming at Dexter High School is “Marvel”ous Super Week, with activities planned around the Marvel Comic superheroes. Other activities are planned throughout the week at T.S. Hill Middle School, Central Elementary and Southwest Elementary schools.

Homecoming Week will turn “pink” on Thursday with the first-ever Dig Pink volleyball game to raise awareness and funds to fight breast cancer.

A silent auction is planned to open at 5 p.m. Thursday in the lobby of the Bearcat Event Center. A 50-50 drawing and other activities are planned. All funds raised at the Dig Pink Against Cancer project will be donated to the 18 Fore Life organizations to be used to help area families fighting breast cancer.

Bearcats will “come home” on Friday for an evening of fun, spirit and enthusiasm.

The evening will begin at 4:30 p.m. with the second annual Homecoming Tailgate 2011 sponsored by Montgomery Bank and County Wide Insurance. The tailgate will be held on Brown Pilot Road between Faith Lutheran Church and the Dexter School Administrative Offices. The tailgate will feature hot wings, hot dogs and hot music from the BUZZ.

The Homecoming Tailgate is free and all are invited.

The Homecoming Candidates will be presented in pre-game festivities at Bearcat Field in Charles Bland Stadium beginning at 6:30 p.m. The Homecoming Queen for 2011 will be crowned during the ceremony.

At 7 p.m. the Dexter Bearcats will take on the Caruthersville Tigers in a conference match-up in the Homecoming game on Bearcat Field.

Following the game, the Fifth Quarter will move up the hill back to Faith Lutheran Church with music again by The Buzz.

It’s a great week to be a Bearcat!
