Gallery: Lancer Day Parade

Lancer Day is a yearly tradition that typically falls on a day towards the end of August or beginning of September. This year, Lancer Day took place on Thursday, Aug. 31, and began at 1 p.m. Each year, the students of SM East dress up and march down Mission Road. The overall theme of the parade this year was Lancer game day. Sports, clubs, grades and activities all dressed up and decorated a float to fall under the category of video games. The route ranges from SM East all the way to the Shops of Prairie Village. Once everyone arrived to the Prairie Village Shops, a pep rally immediately broke out and speeches began from student body president senior Jack Kessler, Principal Peres and the mayor of prairie village Eric Mikkelson.

Following the parade, the Lancers will play Gardener Edgerton in their first football game of the seasons on Thursday, Aug. 31 at 7 p.m.

Junior Amelie Wong is beyond excited for her second year on staff, this time as an assistant photo editor! You will most likely find Amelie sitting at her computer that’s about to crash from trying to upload and edit photos at the same time. When she’s not screaming at her computer thinking that it’ll make her photos upload faster, she’s probably drinking an ungodly amount of Red Bull and listening to Noah Kahan while working (struggling) on whatever homework assignment she put off until the last minute. »
