Tuesday: Welcome to “The Kendom”

September 26, 2023

Yeehaw! On Tuesday the homecoming dress up theme was “Welcome to The Kendom.” 

Students came to school in their best western and cowboy attire, celebrating Ken and bringing the Kenergy to Bishop Gorman.

Jasmine Alusa ‘26 said, “I like the color brown and its western colors,” about the theme. 

Alessandra Carillo Fierro ‘26 stated, “Today’s theme is very different and fun there isn’t many days where we get to wear country themed clothes. I also like that we got to include something for Ken and not make it all about Barbie.”
