Home Sweet Hom e The finol decision of the homecoming rheme resulted in o challenge for the classes to use their creativity. Decorating showcases and floors were o big concern of each class. With Saks Fifth Avenue os their theme, the dosses worked hard to moke their ideas both interesting and original.
