Blast to the past
Homecoming week is here at last with the students of OHS stepping out of our everyday routine to spice things up. This years homecoming theme is “Through the Decades.” The head of homecoming committee, Mrs. Sandra Justice, shared her plans for the upcoming week, and some of the ideas to make this year different. The dress up days for this years homecoming is unique, and the theme is one of the committee’s favorite ideas so far. Mrs. Justice said, “I love them because it incorporates so many different eras, and made me feel like I was reliving my childhood.” Mrs. Justice shared that even though there have been obstacles, like the dance being moved to McKinley and finding a DJ, that it is still going to be a great time.
Homecoming week has a lot of fun events for the students to participate in. Julia Dallenbach is one of the leaders in the homecoming committee this year. Dallenbach said, “I am really excited for the dress up days, the dance and the pepfest. My favorite part was being in charge of everything with Camryn Bartz, and it feels good to know you are helping out.”
