It’s easy to see that Lakin has SCHOOL SPIRIT! Our local businesses joined in on the Homecoming fun with our Window Decorating Contest, and they absolutely showed up! Even with all the rain, the windows looked AMAZING! Each entry was judged on Creativity, School Spirit & Participation, Use of Theme, and Organization & Neatness....and let us tell you, the scores were CLOSE!
1st Place: Bloom and Brush!
2nd Place: Lakin Independent!
Congratulations to our winners, and a HUGE thank you to all of the businesses that participated and helped bring Homecoming spirit throughout our community! We loved seeing everyone get involved and already can’t wait to do it again next year!

Canceled: HS/MS Cross Country @ Syracuse - Saturday, October 3: Numerous holes at the golf course remain under water. Any equipment that is brought out to try to dry anything will only damage the course.

Rigo saw the student walking to school in the rain, grabbed an umbrella, and personally walked him to school. What a thoughtful act of kindness! 💜
