Homecoming week continues at Lovell High School

The Buff Puff volleyball game has been played and two dress-up days are in the books as Homecoming 2024: A Trip Down Memory Lane continues at Lovell High School.

The volleyball games, in which boys are coached by girls, took place at the LHS Winterholler Gym Monday night. 

Tuesday was Decades Day, with freshmen dressing in clothing from the 1970s, sophomores early 2000s, juniors ‘80s and seniors ’90, and Wednesday was Babies vs. Senior Citizens Day, with underclassmen dressing as babies and upperclassmen dressing like senior citizens.

The fun continues the rest of the week.

Thursday is Class Colors Day: red for freshmen, pink for sophomores, black for juniors and white for seniors. Friday is Blue and White Day.

The annual homecoming pep rally is tonight, Thursday, Sept. 26, at 7 p.m. at the LHS Gym featuring a variety of games, crowd cheers, the LHS dance team and the announcement of royalty. The annual chili and cinnamon rolls dinner will precede the pep rally in the gym lobby from 4 to 7 p.m. A meal costs $6, and individual cinnamon rolls will be sold for $4 each or $30 for a dozen.

A bonfire will follow the pep rally to the west of the football practice field.
