Homecoming Celebration 2023!
Thank You NS Community for an Outstanding Homecoming!
Vikings Are Victorious vs. Island Trees, 21-12!
It was a gorgeous day for the North Shore Schools 2023 Homecoming Celebration on Saturday, October 28th. From toddlers to alumni the Homecoming Fan Fest offered something fun for everyone! Thank you to the entire North Shore community for and outstanding Homecoming 2023 which included the Turf Field Ribbon Cutting led by Superintendent Dr. Chris Zublionis and the Board of Education! Congratulations to the North Shore Vikings Football team for triumphing over Island Trees, 21-12 and all of the students, families, alumni and community members who came out to cheer for them!
To kick-off the day, numerous Pre-K-12th grade students, faculty, parents, and residents, enthusiastically participated in a wonderful Homecoming Carnival with fun games for all ages. Superintendent Dr. Chris Zublionis could be seen waving to our youngest Vikings on the trackless train and later in the day enthusiastically cheering on our Vikings at the top including the Varsity Football players, Pulse dancers, cheerleaders, Pep Band and Drumline! Thank you to the members of Viking Booster Club who could be seen grilling burgers and serving food in the shack for our hungry Vikings!
During the Homecoming Fan Fest, you could see the joy on everyone’s faces as everyone joined in the fun. Beginning at 10:30 am, there were a number of elementary sports clinics where our older Vikings took to the field to teach their younger peers how to kick a soccer ball, throw a football, hit a volleyball, handle a field hockey stick and cheer on the teams! At approximately 1:30 pm, the large crowd moved into Stadium Field for the pre-game show including the Fun Run, Pulse dance performances, cheerleaders, and to watch the Turf Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at the fifty yard-line led by Dr. Z and the Board of Education. Thank you to the band and drum line for playing numerous popular songs that set the upbeat tone for the afternoon. Prior to the game, the senior football players were recognized by Coach Dan Agovino. At 2:30 pm, the Vikings took to the field to a thunderous round of applause from all those in the stands. During halftime, alumni of all ages came onto the field for a photograph! Thank you to Mr. Richie Lindlom from the first North Shore High School Class of 1958 and all the other alumni for joining us this year! Congratulations go out to the Vikings Football team and their coaches for an exciting victory, beating Island Trees in an action-packed game, 21-12!
A big “thank you” goes out to the Vikings Booster Club members who worked hard at the concession stand. Cheers to the Parent Organizations along with high school classes who sold various North Shore merchandise in support of our schools and programs. Also, many thanks to the Homecoming Committee, Rachael Bowen, the parent associations, the Arts Angels, the Athletics Department, Board of Education, administrators, alumni, faculty, students, and North Shore community for an outstanding day!
