George, Iowa — Most high schools in northwest Iowa have their homecoming celebrations in the fall, during football season. But George/Little Rock is one of the few that have homecoming during basketball season.
And this is homecoming week at George/Little Rock. The Homecoming King and Queen have been announced. Congratulations to Queen Shealyn Denekas and King Taylor Putnam.
The high schoolers are having different dress-up days. Monday was Senior Citizens day. Tuesday’s theme was “Anything but a backpack,” when students could carry their books, computers, and/or supplies in — you guessed it — anything BUT a backpack. On Wednesday it’s color day. Middle schoolers will wear brown, freshmen- blue, sophomores- pink, juniors- white, seniors- black, and the staff will wear red. Thursday it’s Country vs. Country club, and Friday will be Spirit Day.
In the elementary, Monday was mismatch day, Tuesday was pajama day, Wednesday is crazy hair or hat day, Thursday is class color day, and Friday is school spirit day.
In the high school sports department, Tuesday evening it’s 9th grade and varsity basketball at Sioux Center. On Thursday, it’s 9th, JV, and Varsity basketball at West Lyon and JV and Varsity Wrestling — a double dual at Central Lyon. The homecoming games will be on Friday night and will feature the JV and varsity, boy and girl Mustangs versus Sheldon at the GLR High School Gym in George. On Saturday, there’s a varsity wrestling tournament at Parkston, South Dakota High School, followed by the Homecoming Dance from 8-11 p.m.
