T-minus 11 days until the kick off of the 2017 Homecoming! There is so much to be looking forward to, from the dress up days to the fun-filled Friday night.

This year’s Homecoming theme, chosen by the LHS student council, will be “Road down Cliff.” Students will “visit” various locations on Cliff Avenue as the week goes on, starting at Drake Springs pool, then to Harlem’s bike shop, next Avera hospital, then the Red Box at Walgreen’s and finally ending at LHS.

Dress up days:

Monday- Beach day (Drake Springs)

Tuesday- Biker day (Harlem’s bike shop)

Wednesday- Career day (Avera Hospital)

Thursday- Movie day (Red Box)

Friday- Spirit day (LHS)

Here’s a video, created by Will Howes, the rest of the LHS student council and Mr. Grimm, showing the dress up days for each day.
