This coming week will be Homecoming Week at Effingham High School. The theme for the week will be "Midnight in Paris". 

There will be a theme for each day.

Monday will be Pajama Day and there will be a special kickoff welcome before school, with Student Council members passing out treats.

That evening, there are plans to show the movie "Cars" at 7pm on the turf field. It'll be free for all students and faculty members. No food or drink will be allowed.

Tuesday will be Class Color Day: freshmen--green; sophomores--blue; juniors--purple; seniors-pink.

Wednesday will be Dynamic Duo Day and the Homecoming Parade will be held at 6pm. The procession will stage at 4th Street, two blocks farther west than usual because of construction work downtown, and will then head west on Jefferson Avenue to Cherry Street, then south on Cherry to Grove Avenue, then west on Grove to the high school. Retired Unit 40 Superintendent Mark Doan will be the Parade Marshal. 

The annual Powder Puff football game will be played on Klosterman Field at Washington Savings Bank Stadium at 7pm. It'll be a charity game with proceeds benefitting "Fear Nothing". 

Thursday will be Jersey Day. Coronation practice wll be held 7th Hour. Voting for Homecoming King and Queen will take place during English class.

Friday will be School Spirit Day, with a Pep Assembly hosted by the EHS Pep Club during the school day.
