This week Emmaus celebrates "spirit week," coordinated by the Student Government Assocation with different themes and after school activities for each day.

Tuesday was sport/ club day, where students wore a jersey or T-shirt representing their favorite sports team or club, followed up by the powderpuff football game in the evening.

Wednesday is "Color Out Cancer Day" where students are encouraged to wear a color of their choice representing a specific type of cancer.

Thursday is America Day, when students can show off their patriotic pride.

On Thursday night there will be a parade starting 5:15 p.m. in the senior lot and a pep rally 6:30 p.m. in the main gym. All students are welcome.

Finally, Friday is Spirit Day. Students show off their Hornet pride in preparation for the big homecoming football game.

The week ends with a "New York, New York" themed homecoming dance 7 to 10 p.m. in the cafeteria. Tickets are available for sale in lunches.

Rehearsals have begun for the fall show at Emmaus High School. The drama department will be presenting "The Diary of Anne Frank" Nov. 6 through 8. Tickets will be on sale soon.

PSAT testing will be held 8 a.m. Oct. 18 at EHS. Students should bring their I.D., number two pencils and a calculator. The deadline to register is Oct. 15.

Congratulations to seniors Ryan Bilger, Keegan Daugherty, Daniel Intriago, Lucy Lin, Ellen Park, Mason Trinkle and Justine Wang, who were announced last week as the 2015 National Merit Semifinalists.
