With Little Bone approaching you have Sophomore Homecoming Court and the excitement of Homecoming. Wondering how to become part of Little Bone Homecoming Court if you are a Sophomore? Lincoln Lion Tales interviewed Kelly Phillips who provided us with information about Little Bone Homecoming Court.

Mrs. Phillips stated that in order for a student to be part of Homecoming Court they are nominated by staff and then vetted by her. She believes that the focus is to represent students who have been recognized by staff who are doing right and their peers voting for them.

She also said that the meaning behind being part of the court is for a student to live by the Lincoln motto, Do Right. This would mean a student does right, they have good character, work hard, have good attendance, and are good students.

Mrs. Phillips mention that last year there were eight students for the court and there is only six this year. The Royal Lions are known as the top two or the winners.

The difference between the Sophomore and Senior Homecoming Court would be the grade level. Sophomore Homecoming Court is for Little Bone and Senior Homecoming Court is for Big Bone. The top two Royal Lions will be announced during half time at Little Bone and the court will be present.
