Members of the winter homecoming royalty will be crowned between girls and boys varsity basketball games Friday night at Junction City High School. One of the coordinators for the event, Dana Weigand, said there will be five candidates for the senior class. Voting is currently under way.
This week is Blue Jay Road trip at JCHS, said Weigand. "Each of the classes selected a destination for the end of the week. But we've had spirit days all week long." Monday was get ready for the road trip and anything but a backpack day, with staff and students carrying their supplies in anything but a backpack.
Tuesday was Destination Alaska with everyone dressing in cold weather gear, Wednesday Destination Texas with western spirit wear, Thursday Destination California with everyone asked to dress as their favorite celebrity and Friday the final destination with everyone to dress in their Blue Jay colors. Each class also has a color representing their class. Freshman will be dressed in gray, sophomores in black, juniors in white and seniors in blue.
There will also be a pep rally on Friday during the advisory period and basketball Friday night when the Lady Jays and Blue Jays host Topeka High. There will also be a dance Friday night after the ballgames.
