The Bolles School issued the following announcement.
Bolles Homecoming Week 2020 made history with theme dress up days on all four campuses, remote broadcasts, a middle school pep rally and two upper school pep rallies. While the festivities ended Friday, September 25 with an overtime loss to the Creekside Knights, the week and evening was a tremendous show of orange and blue pride and demonstration of Bolles strength and resilience.
Homecoming Week started early this year to accommodate upper school students on campus for Operating Scenario 3. Students dressed up in decades, movie and spirit attire. For the first time ever, students on the Bolles Lower School Ponte Vedra Beach and Whitehurst campuses and the Bolles Middle School Bartram Campus also participated in Homecoming theme days including Disney, decades, Bulldog spirit and pajama inspired attire. In another first, the Bolles Middle School Bartram Campus hosted a pep rally on the football field Thursday, September 24. A virtual pep rally also was held for the benefit of students learning from home.
On the Bolles Upper School San Jose Campus, student spirit and activities leaders planned two pep rallies – one on Wednesday, September 23 and another on Thursday, September 24. As Bolles tradition dictates, the Homecoming Court was announced and senior football players gave roses to senior cheerleaders. Students were physically distanced in the stands. In lieu of the annual Homecoming Parade, the Homecoming Court made two loops around Hodges Field in golf carts.
The September 25 game began with a moment of silence for Bolles football legends Coach Corky Rogers and A. Chester Skinner Jr. '40, both of whom passed away earlier in 2020. Football players wore special decals on their helmets for Coach Rogers. The game also included the half-time, 50-yard-line announcement of the 2020 Homecoming Sweethearts: Katie Fites ’21 and Jake McGraw ’21. The court included seniors:
