Homecoming fun

Anne Ternus-Bellamy | Enterprise staff writer

Davis High School students are channeling their inner Buzz and Woody as they prepare for Friday’s Homecoming fun.

The theme for this year’s parade — which starts at 1 p.m. at Central Park — is “Pixar Perfect,” meaning parade observers can expect to see some of their favorite Pixar movies memorialized on class floats.

Seniors are busy this week building an “Up”-themed float, while juniors are focused on “Monsters, Inc.” and sophomores “Finding Nemo.”

Given how creative last year’s floats were — the superhero theme translated into Gotham-style floats — this year’s parade could be a sight to see.

In addition to the three class floats, parade participants include numerous clubs at the high school, from language and sports to community service. The entire football team will travel aboard one super-size truck.

“It really represents a lot of different aspects of our school,” said DHS senior Arianna Heyer, a member of the school’s German club. “The float building is going on all week after school and it’s just another opportunity for our student body to work together.”
