Homecoming 2021
Calling all VIKINGS! Homecoming is just around the corner (10/1, 10/4-10/8) and your class still needs all the help they can get! To get involved and support your class, you can come out to your class's decs meetings (refer to the calendar links for more info). If you aren't already aware, Homecoming is our largest annual school event. In fact, we have the BEST Homecoming out of all the schools in our district. Homecoming involves each class creating a skit, backdrop, and a collection of planter decorations, as well as choreographing multiple dances. The Homecoming week leads up to our Homecoming game (this year against Monta Vista), at which our whole school will cheer on the football team to victory! There are so many more aspects of Homecoming that are not mentioned here, so make sure to look out for the ASB Homecoming Week graphic for more information!

Homecoming Week Schedule October 4-8, 2021 (download) Note from Principal Jackson
Hello, Lynbrook,
This week the Lynbrook staff will perform their skit in the quad during tutorial on Friday. Students be sure to come to the quad to cheer on your teachers. The last time the staff did a skit was October 2019. If you have never seen a Lynbrook Staff Skit, watch the staff battle Ghouls, Ghosts, and Gunn in the 2019 Staff Homecoming film created by Film Club and ASB Tech
If you ask Lynbrook graduates about a highlight of their time as a student here, they will mention Homecoming. This week will be full of decs, skit practice, and planning. Next week will be go-time. Students, it is not too late to get involved. You will make friends and memories that will last a lifetime.
