This year’s Homecoming events were well attended with great participation. The weather was wonderful, the Disney theme was entertaining, and the students kept things to a level of good, clean fun. 

The results for the Homecoming parade are: 

Woonsocket Elementary – first place, sixth grade; second place, third grade; third place, Pre-K; 

Woonsocket seventh through 12th – first place, juniors; second place, announced as seventh grade, but, after further deliberation, was probably supposed to go to the eighth grade; third place, sophomores; 

Sanborn Central School – first place, second/third grade; second place, Pre-K; third place, first grade; 

Businesses/Organizations – first place, Horizon Health Clinic; second place, Santel; third place, First National Bank of Omaha.

In light of some unique circumstances with no female member of the senior class at Sanborn Central, the “powers that be” had to come up with a little different approach to naming Homecoming Royalty at their school this year. So, they decided to have a Mr. Blackhawk contest. There was a student-body vote, a swimsuit competition, and a watermelon eating contest, all to earn points toward a top winner, and Bryce Larson was crowned their Mr. Blackhawk to represent their school this week.

With 26 students in Woonsocket’s senior class, this year’s coronation in Woonsocket was filled with introductions, pep band, cheers and an outstanding junior skit, all leading up to the announcement of this year’s Knight and Princess. The two honored with the titles for this year’s Homecoming festivities are Knight Rylan Grassel and Princess Makenzie Schley.
