Shoreham-Wading River School District hosted its annual homecoming festivities on Sept. 20.

Students, principals, teachers, administrators, cheerleaders and families joined in the parade to set the tone for a successful football game against Elwood-John H. Glenn High School.

Before the start of the game High School Principal Frank Pugliese requested a moment of silence after he lauded coach Paul Koretzki as a true legend for his decades of shaping multi-generations of Shoreham-Wading River girls cross-country and track and field teams. The High School chorus under the leadership of music teacher Dennis Creighton welcomed the crowd with a beautiful rendition of the national anthem.

In its annual recognition of Constitution Day (Sept. 17, 1787), Wading River School students and staff wore patriot colors and some even dressed to honor those who have influenced decisions and made major contributions to our country and the world. It was a day where Abraham Lincoln, Rosie the Riveter, Thomas Edison, Eleanor Roosevelt and others walked the halls of Wading River School in recognition of the 39 delegates who signed the United States Constitution.

Students were also encouraged to write something to share with their classmates about the important person they dressed up as.
