Tri County's homecoming underway

            Tri-county is gearing up for a fun week of Homecoming events the week of September 19 to 23. With the homecoming court being decided by the student body, voting will take place on Monday and will be announced during Boom Night Sept. 21 at 6 p.m. Boom night will kick off with the introduction of the football and volleyball teams as well as cheerleaders and student council. The introduction of the homecoming court and king and queen will proceed, followed by a senior parent skit, cheerleaders routine and then senior skit.  The homecoming court will be auctioned off for labor with proceeds benefiting student council activities and will conclude with final words and the Fight Song.

            Along with Boom Night, the student council is planning a week of fun events to go along and get student spirit up. Dress up days are as follows: Monday- Frat/Sorority Nerd/Jock day Tuesday- Dynamic Duo day Wednesday- Famous people throughout history Thursday- Alphabet day and Friday- Trojan vs. warrior day (black and gold day).

            On Monday students will participate in door decorating. The classes will also be holding competitions for the week with the winning class receiving a pizza party.  Tuesday and Thursday during lunch there will be boys volleyball games and Friday afternoon there will be an entire afternoon of activities including a powder puff game, staff volleyball game, musical chairs, ships and sailors and a pep assembly. 

            Homecoming week will end with a parking lot gathering after the game Friday night from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. for students grades nine through twelve. There will be music, pizza, fire pits, smores and more. The volleyball girls will take on Keota at home on Sept. 19 and travel to Sigourney on Sept. 20 and the football boys will play on Sept. 23 at 7 p.m.  Let’s make sure that we make homecoming a fun and memorable event and get out and support these athletes.
