Homecoming is one of the school year’s biggest events and is a tradition in many high schools. It’s a warm way to welcome back students and kick off the year with some fun activities.

Lord & Taylor to Close 10 Stores Including Flagship
Posted: 8th June 2018
Is the US department store as we know it dying off? Many big department stores appear to be struggling. Now, Lord & Taylor, an iconic NY company, have confirmed that they’re closing doors on 10 of their stores.
This includes their flagship store on Fifth Avenue, an integral part of the famous NYC street. The company previously boasted an incredible 50 stores and four outlets. The business dates back as far as 1824 when it began as a store selling hosiery and cashmere shawls for women.
Lord & Taylor is currently owned by Canada-based Hudson’s Bay Co. They have just confirmed the sad down-sizing news. Lord & Taylor have occupied the Fifth Avenue space since 1914, but Hudson’s Bay Co. made a deal last October to sell the building.

These big changes turn the historical contest into something very different – can it now even be considered a pageant?
The news remained a secret for several months, but was voted on back in March this year by the mostly female board who run the contest.
“No Longer a Pageant”
Gretchen Carlson, who is the organization’s current chairwoman, spoke on the breaking news. According to Today she stated: “We are no longer a pageant. Miss America will represent a new generation of female leaders focused on scholarship, social impact, talent, and empowerment.”
She explained that instead of the swimsuit section of the contest, there will be a bigger focus on personality and exploring the candidate’s personal achievements: “In its place, each candidate will participate in a live interactive session with the judges, where she will highlight her achievements and goals in life and how she will use her talents,
