Homecoming 2011 has arrived with a fish dinner tonight at the VFW banquet room, a pep rally at the gym, and more. The Ex-Student Association headed up by Tommy Thomas with help from the Sharp family, the Wiggins family, the Lawlers, the Bradleys, the Stanfields and many others have planned activities, surprises, and programs to match something of interest for everyone. Come out and see! The game with Fruitvale will be Saturday night, with the King and Queen chosen before the game, and all the classes graduating in years ending with a 1 will be honored at halftime (not 2011). All coaches will be honored in prior activities of the day, such as the parade. A good time to think about for Friday night is 5 p.m. and Saturday night, 7 p.m. Everyone welcome to the Methodist Church Sunday for service and meal!
