TONASKET – Tonasket high School will celebrate Homecoming the week of Oct. 1-5.

This year’s school theme is, “How Can I help?”

Each class has a charity that they ar raising money for this year. Freshmen will be raising funds for the Tonasket Food Bank; sophomores for the Cancer Society; juniors for the Wounded Warrior Project; and seniors for the rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.

As always we will a ll raise funds for our Veterans and the U.S. Armed Forces Legacy Park Project. With this theme each class has created dress-up days to follow their theme, building up to Friday’s Blue and Gold Day.
