Today and tomorrow are the highlight days for two Dallas County school districts during their respective homecoming weeks.
Perry High School will spend part of today doing various community service projects and programs with its annual Volunteer Day. Superintendent Clark Wicks talks about the important role Volunteer Day plays for students.
“I think when you start learning to serve others before yourself, there’s a huge, huge mentality in itself. And what’s been so interesting about Volunteer Day is that the kids do such a good job of coming out, the people get to work, he’s very cordial to people and I think they can always look back and say, ‘You know what? I helped make a positive difference.’
This will be followed by the parade at 5:30 p.m., a cookout for the children’s class from 6 to 8 p.m. in the high school parking lot and a pork loin lunch will be served for a free donation and then the crowning of kings and queens in The gym. Raccoon Valley Radio’s Big Red Radio will broadcast the ceremony live beginning at 8 p.m.
The Adel-DeSoto-Minburn High School TigerFest is tomorrow. The event features a variety of bounce houses and free games for kids from 5:30pm to 7:00pm at the high school, along with the ADM Athletic Booster Club is sponsoring a senior athlete autograph tent and the FFA’ers will also help serve food and dessert in the concession area of the football stadium. A district rally will begin at 7:00 p.m., followed by the crowning of the king and queen, and Big Red Radio will also broadcast this ceremony live starting at 7:00 p.m.
