Homecoming is an exciting time for everyone, especially for Aubree Jones (12), this year’s homecoming queen.
“Usually, if you look at the cameras, you’ll know ahead of time based on where they are pointed. I saw they were to the right, I whispered to my dad, ‘keep smiling, it’s someone over there,’ so when I realized when they called my name, I was super off guard and excited,” Jones said.
Jones had a great experience on homecoming day. A day filled with love and laughter that is hard to forget. Hearing her name announced as queen, with her friends and family cheering her on. Also channeling her competitive spirit during the homecoming pep rally.
“I was concerned because I didn’t know what to expect when it came to the pep rally game. My main goal was to just stay in the game,” Jones said.
