Pike Liberal Arts School is celebrating Homecoming 2016 this week with a variety of fun activities that will culminate on Friday with the Homecoming football game against Glenwood Academy. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. Delaney Kervin Stadium.

The Student Government Association and the PLAS varsity cheerleaders chose “The Wizard of Oz” as the theme for Homecoming 2016. Monday Mania Day was an opportunity for the students to dress as residents of the City of the Emeralds. Twisted Tuesday brought out the ticky-tacky side of the students. Today is Wizard Wednesday and it should be magical. On Thursday, the students will wear their PLAS Homecoming shirts and Friday is red, white and blue for the elementary students and dress-up day for high school students.

Thursday will be a big day on campus with a pre-parade PLAS family meal from 5 until 6 p.m. in the school cafeteria. The 2016 Homecoming Parade will be at 6:15 with a route around campus. The traditional bonfire will be at 7 p.m. followed by a glow-in-the-dark pep rally.

The 2016 Homecoming Court will be announced at the 9 a.m. assembly on Friday at the stadium. An alumni reception will follow at 10 a.m. in the library and a Glenwood Gator Meat Pep Rally at 11 a.m.  School will be dismissed following the pep rally.

The Pike Liberal Patriots will “entertain” Glenwood Gators on Dwight Ward Field at 7 p.m. The 2016 PLAS Homecoming Court will be honored at halftime and the 2016 Homecoming Queen will be announced.

PLAS alumni and friends of the school are invited to join the students and faculty in celebrating Homecoming 2016 at Pike Liberal Arts School.
