A square poster with a dark green central panel bordered by irregular, torn-paper edges. At the top, dark green and black text introduces student expectations at games. Large white lettering in the center-right reads ā€œSTUDENTS AT GAMES CHEER!ā€ Beneath it is a list of four expectations. On the lower left are two cartoon green creatures: a larger winged dragon with a segmented gray belly and a smaller, round-eyed green creature with orange antennae. Both hold gold-and-green pom-poms. A dotted green pattern decorates the upper-right corner, and a black message along the bottom asks parents to help their children cheer.

A square infographic announcing Holyoke Homecoming, themed "Soaring to Victoryā€”A Rio Adventure." The background is a fusion of a football stadium and the Rio de Janeiro skyline, including the Christ the Redeemer statue. At the top center, the "Holyoke Homecoming" title is flanked by the cartoon baseball dragon (from image_1.png) on the left and the football dragon (from image_3.png) on the right. Below the title is the main theme text. The center features three stacked yellow panels outlining the spirit days: Tuesday (Meme Day, with a 'Philosoraptor' meme icon), Wednesday (Birds of a Feather/Twin Day, with two parrots), and Thursday (Class Colors, with a color swatch fan). The bottom of the graphic features the volleyball dragon (from image_4.png) and the golfer dragon (from image_2.png) amongst tropical hibiscus flowers. Confetti is scattered throughout the entire image.
