10/19-10/23: Spirit Week for BHS Hoco & Halloween Dance


Show your school spirit, dress up, and bring the hype as we count down to Boerne High's HOCO & Voss' very own Halloween dance!
 

Halloween Dance - October 23

VMS Halloween Dance: 10/23 from 6 PM - 8 PM
Student Council is gearing up for this year's Halloween Dance & we hope y'all are excited for a spooktacular time! The dance will be held in the Aux Gym & Blacktop this year! Here are all the details you need to know before next week.

Meal Tickets ($15) – Deadline THIS Friday (10/16) Friday is the last day to buy a meal ticket! For $15, students get entry to the dance plus a full Cane's Box (3 chicken tenders, fries, Texas toast, sauce, and a soda).
Drop-Off & Pick-Up
  • The car line will run just like a normal school day dismissal at the back of the school.
  • Parking in the front or back lots is strictly prohibited.
  • If you need to pick up your student early, please coordinate the time with them beforehand or contact them via cell phone. You will still need to stay in the car line for pick-up, as parents cannot enter the building.
Costume Contest & Rules: We'll be holding a costume contest with categories for Most Creative, Scariest, and Best Group!
  • Mask Rule: Masks can only be worn during costume judging. For safety, students must keep masks off during the rest of the dance. Please make sure their mask has a string or tie so it's easy to carry around their neck while on the dance floor.
Snacks & Activities Concessions will be open all night with chips, drinks, candy, and Chloe Belle's shaved ice. Concessions are cash only. Student Council has a full lineup of activities planned for the evening—please talk with your student beforehand if there are any specific activities you'd like them to skip.

If you have any questions, please contact the Student Council rep, Ms. Goodman (jessica.goodman@boerneisd.net). Can't wait to see you there!!

Parent Chaperones - Halloween Dance

Student Council has been working hard to organize and create fun new activities for this year's dance! We would love to have some parents there to help chaperone and work in specific areas of the dance alongside our StuCo students. 

Please note: our dance falls on the same night as the Boerne High HOCO football game!

Theatre

Join Us for Thriller in the Park — A Spooktacular Night of Service!
Get ready for a frighteningly fun Boerne ISD tradition! We invite you to join us for the 6th Annual Thriller in the Park, bringing together all of Voss' Theatre students alongside the theatre students from both the other middle and both of the high school students for an unforgettable evening on the Champion Football field from 7-8pm! 

Students from across Boerne ISD will take the field in their best zombie attire to perform a massive synchronized dance to Michael Jackson’s Thriller, along with additional musical performances showcasing the incredible talents of our BISD students. 
Best of all, this night of entertainment has a purpose! 

Admission is a donation of non-perishable food items, which will benefit Hill Country Family Services and help provide food for families right here in Kendall County. Guests are encouraged to bring generously and help us fill the shelves! Thriller in the Park is a chance for students, families, staff, and community members to come together, have a little spooky fun, and use the arts to make a meaningful difference for our neighbors.

Bring your family. Bring your friends. Bring a bag or can of food—and come watch our students bring Thriller to life!
