(Le Mars) — Le Mars Community school officials have announced there will not be any Homecoming Parade this year, which was originally scheduled for October 2nd. In a news release, issued Wednesday, the decision was made due
to the persistent concerns with the COVID-19 virus. School officials say they realize this is a disappointment for many in the community, but their goal at the school is to keep students safe and socially distant whenever possible. A parade would create the opposite effect and would have students in close proximity when it is not needed. The news release indicated school
officials are still planning on having different forms of events and a smaller coronation ceremony during the week of October 2nd. The Le Mars Community Student Council will make the decisions over the next couple of weeks and they will release the information as it is available. School officials indicate the plans are subject to change.
