With LHS Homecoming Week almost upon us, its time to get serious. Not just seriously excited, but seriously competitive. This year’s theme revolves around “Homecoming Olympics,” which allows each student to pick between the two themes each day. Here are the daily theme battles that students can get involved in:

Monday (Denim v. Khaki): Heres your chance to wear that perfectly faded jean jacket or those crazy cool khakis youve been dying to wear.

Tuesday (Spots v. Stripes): Bring out your polka dot shirts from Third Grade Picture Day or those striped shirts that everyone wore last season until they wised up.

Wednesday (Techie v. Sporty): Reveal what side you belong to by deciding between super big glasses and suspenders (and a bright future) or all that Nike gear you bought to help keep Scheels in business.

Thursday (Preppy v. Hipster): Either wear your sorority/frat outfits (sweater tied around waist is optional) or show your coffee shop style while quoting random snippets of poetry.

Friday (Red v. White v. Blue): Show your LHS spirit by bringing out your favorite American colors and attending the pep rally! Helpful hint: There are no wrong choices here.
