“It is so much work with a lot of tiny details that must be addressed well ahead of Homecoming week but it is so much fun to try to throw a better and more fun homecoming than the last and to see the joy that comes from our hard work,” said Mrs. Desiron, who is one of the head teachers in charge of Student Council.
The Homecoming dance which is September 24th and will be held at the O’Plaine
Campus from 6:30-9:30pm. Inside there will be a DJ and the outside portion will consist of games,
pictures, food trucks, and more space to enjoy with friends.
“This year’s theme is “The Golden Age of Hollywood”. Think of it as a time transport through all of the different genres of movies, i.e. westerns, silent, horror, romance, etc. We want students to enjoy the lights, sound and magic of film,” said Mrs. Lainio, who is also a head teacher involved with Student Council. I asked if there will be a firework show like last year’s Homecoming, Hannah Conger said, “Unfortunately, there will not be a firework show this year.”
Although there will not be a firework show there will be yummy and delicious food! At last year’s Homecoming Student Council set up food trucks to come and serve food for its attendees. And they are coming back with even more!
“We are having food trucks again this year! Mario’s Cart is returning for Mexican
food,” exclaimed Mrs. Desiron. “Along with Nothing Bundt Cakes, Kona Ice, and snacks and
drinks sold by the Warren Athletic Boosters. New this year is Kissed By Fire woodfire pizza and
either an ice-cream truck or root beer floats.”
WTHS will not need to wait to feel this excitement about Homecoming. There will be a
Spirit Week to bring everyone together. And not to forget, the main event, the varsity football
game against Lake Zurich.

lot of events that are so much fun and we hope to see a lot of the student body out supporting!
We have planned a spirit week, watch our Instagram for posts with the themes.
Spirit week will run from Monday 9/19-Friday 9/23. One thing I love about this school is how much fun the
students have with the themes. The football theme is GOLD, so have fun with that one as well,”
explained Mrs. Lainio.
