A spring 2021 homecoming celebration is underway this week at Anna-Jonesboro Community High School.
Homecoming traditionally is a fall event at the Union County school.
Like so many other activities, that tradition has been impacted by the ongoing coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic.
A traditional fall homecoming would feature a football game, a coronation ceremony, a parade and other special activities.
This week’s spring celebration will not include a parade, but the schedule does feature a football game, a coronation ceremony and other activities.
The A-JCHS Student Council is sponsoring Spirit Days for homecoming. The theme for the week is “Wild, Wild West.”

CARBONDALE, Ill. High school and community college students from around the region competed virtually for scholarships, trophies and bragging rights at Southern Illinois University Carbondale’s 23rd annual Accounting Challenge recently.
The School of Accountancy in SIU’s College of Business and Analytics sponsored the Feb. 26 event for about 140 participants who tested their skills in both an individual and team competition.
A unique twist
Typically, the event takes place on campus and includes a written accounting skills test followed by a creative team challenge that involves imaginative problem-solving contests that vary from year to year. This year’s goal was to make the online event special and incorporate a fun, team element.
