The members of school clubs build booths（摊位）and sell lemonade, apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome visitors.
During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from long ago. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school.
Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band（乐队）comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is the moment when the Home-coming Queen or King appears. All the students choose a most popular student the Home-coming Queen or King. It is a great honour（荣幸）to be chosen.

★ Select some flowers from a shop. Write a thank-you note.
★ Give the person a basket of fresh fruit or a homemade treat.
★ Invite a friend to a movie, meal, snack or coffee.
★ Give a gift card for a bookstore or a restaurant. That way the person can pick out a favourite book or eat out.

★ To say a big thank you to someone, have a party for that person.
