Royalty:
Students signed up for royalty the week of September 14. Mrs. Barker will have an informational meeting for all who signed up on September 21 during middle school lunch/high school advisory in E201. Campaigning will begin on September 21 as well.
Students will vote for royalty on Friday, September 25 during homeroom. There will be a link on the symbaloo. Students may only vote for their grade level.
Winners – including King and Queen – will be announced at the end of the day on September 25. We want the King and Queen to enjoy their time for the entirety of homecoming events and not just at the game and dance! We will vote in fifth period for King and Queen based off the top three senior winners during the homeroom vote.

Parade:
Parade will function as it has in previous years. Teachers will walk their homeroom students to and from the parade. A form was sent home so that students can indicate their intention for the parade. Once all students have arrived back to school, we will continue through the remaining periods.
Ticket Sales
Tickets will be sold at both lunches from September 28- October 1. Tickets are $7 a piece- we are not doing a discounted couple price this year. Members of royalty do not have to pay for a ticket.
