Parade participants are limited to school organizations or an extension of our youth sports programs. Qualifying organizations or programs that want to participate should complete and submit the Parade Entry Form to Ms. Starzl by the end of the school day on Friday, Oct. 1. Forms can be placed in her mailbox at school, sent via interoffice mail or scanned to her email (starzlb@ksdr1.net). Late submissions run the risk of not being included in the parade lineup. Ms. Starzl will respond with additional details for parade participants.
2021 Homecoming Dance
The 2021 KHS Homecoming Dance will be held from 8 to 11 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 9 at KHS. The plan is to hold the dance indoors, though that is subject to change. No outside guests (non-KHS students) will be allowed to attend this year’s Homecoming Dance.
2021 Homecoming Gear
Last but not least, make sure you are geared up by ordering a shirt, sweater or hoodie from the 2021 Homecoming Week Store! Orders must be completed by 10 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 22. Supplies are limited; there will be a small selection available for purchase on a first-come, first-served basis. The plan is to hand out orders at the Powder Puff game or Homecoming game.
We can’t wait to celebrate with all of you during our 2021 Homecoming Week festivities! It’s time to come home, Bulldogs!
