It is Homecoming week! This was always my favorite week in school. I love the sports behind the Homecoming tradition. For those of you that are new to LPS or to Texas, Homecoming is a week long celebration of our senior athletes. We will have Spirit Week next week with dress-up days. We will stay in dress code within our dress-up days. This week is going to be fun and exciting. I am excited to see our school spirit throughout the week. Thursday will be fun to see all the mums and arm garter bands for our young men. We will conclude the festivities with the Homecoming Dance for our High School students (9th grade - 12th grade) on Saturday night.

Go Lions!

What is a mum/garter, Originally a Texas Tradition, it’s now expanded out to other states such as Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, Alabama and as far as Florida, North Dakota and Virginia. Made of mostly ribbon, the homecoming mum is given to a girl at Homecoming to wear to school then to the Homecoming game and dance, if any. Males wear a mum as well referred to as a “garter”, the mum is attached to a garter worn on the arm. A Homecoming mum is centered around a silk flower, with streaming ribbons, your name, the name of your date and whatever other creative thing you like. Some like to put their grade on their ribbons, some like a teddy bear on their mum. It depends on what you like and the creativity of the maker. You can make your own mums and garters or you can have yours ordered from your local flower shop or the following Mum shops in our area. This is not mandatory but just a fun thing to have for memories. We will wear them on Thursday (9/21) at school.
