Every year students at Port Huron Northern High School look forward to Snowcoming weekend. They are excited for the assembly, the games, and the dance.

  All of the members of each class come together for the weekend to compete against the other grades. “I like how competitive everyone gets,” said Sarah VanderHeuvel (’15).

   Other students agree with VanderHeuvel. “It is really nice to see the class spirit in all of the students,” said Amy Tseng (’14).

   Overall, the pep assembly is one of the students’ favorite events. “The schools enthusiasm makes the assembly really fun,” explained Anu Nandi (’15).

   The Snowcoming games this year were quite different from ones in the past. Due to winter weather, the games were moved inside.

   Students had mixed feelings about the games being moved indoors this year. Some think that having the games indoors takes away from the whole meaning of the games.

   “I didn’t like it,” replied VanderHeuvel when asked how she felt about the games being moved inside. “It was not as fun or the same,” she explained.

   Tseng felt the same way. “I didn’t like it because it cut volleyball short,” she said.

   On the other hand, some students liked having the games indoors. “I liked that it was inside because no one froze!” explained Nandi.

The teachers appreciated it too. The adults who volunteered to help did not have to stand out in the freezing cold all morning.

   Another exciting part of Snowcoming weekend is the dance. Although not as popular as the Homecoming dance, it is still a fun event for students to participate in.

   When asked about the dance, students’ answers varied.

   “I attended the dance this year because it’s super fun every year,” said VanderHeuvel. “I think that because it’s a lot smaller than Homecoming, it is more fun,” she finished.

   The majority of students did not attend the dance this year.

   “I didn’t go because I did not feel like going this year,” replied Nandi.

   “I didn’t go because I didn’t feel like dressing up for the dance,” said Tseng.

   Overall, Snowcoming was still pretty successful this year. Even though the games ended up being indoors, students still had as much fun as they usually do on Snowcoming weekend.
