September was a busy month in Lawrence Township filled with alumni sightings and activities. It kicked off with the Annual LC vs. LN Varsity football game, and then continued with LC Homecoming on September 10th and LN Homecoming on September 24th. Each school celebrated Homecoming by crowning the kings, queens, and the court during halftime, the Marching Pride of LT performed, and the students enjoyed the Homecoming Dance. This year was extra special for students even with a few necessary modifications. In addition to the Homecoming traditions, prior to kick-off, LC and LN inducted the 2021 Distinguished Alumni. Congratulations to this outstanding group! It was also a big month for class reunions! It was great having all the Wildcats and Bears back on our campuses, reconnecting and telling stories! We hope you enjoy this special Homecoming edition!
