Homecoming honors Hurricane Katrina victims

Student Council members collect ballots for voting for class attendants on Sept. 14. |
 "A Night in New Orleans" Homecoming began last week with online voting for this year's king and queen. Students also voted for six boys and six girls to represent each class as attendants. All royalty and attendants were announced at an in-school pep assembly on Sept. 22. The king and queen during the evening pep rally/bonfire on Sept. 28 at 7 p.m., and at halftime of the varsity football game against North Chicago on Sept. 29.
Attendants and royalty also will ride in the Homecoming parade on Sept. 23. The parade will begin at Lewis Park at 3 p.m. and end at Forestview Park in Lindenhurst.
Additional plans for Homecoming Week include spirit days, the powder puff game on Sept. 27, and, of course, the dance. The semi-formal event will be held in the gym from 7-10 p.m. on Sept. 30. Tickets will be sold for $15 during lunch periods starting Sept. 20. Two dollars from every ticket will be donated to Benjamin Franklin High School in New Orleans, which continues to experience a set-back as a result of Hurricane Katrina more than a year ago. Student Council selected this year's Homecoming theme to honor the high school and others affected by the disaster.
A photographer will be available at the dance for couple and group shots; package options will be distributed as students buy their tickets. Students may bring guests from other schools after completing the appropriate paperwork in the main office before the dance.
