Essex, Missouri – It’s the second day of Homecoming Week for the Richland Rebels and it was celebrated with Twin Day. Each student had the opportunity to choose a twin and dress alike to receive points for their class in the annual Homecoming Week competition. The fourth grade class all wore the same color shirt while the seniors all wore their matching Class of 2014 attire, so it goes to say that there were many duplicates walking the halls today at Richland.

The lunch time activity was the Oreo Eating Contest. Two students from each class were chosen to participate in this famous Minute to Win It game. The object of the game is to get an Oreo from the top of your forehead down to your mouth without using your hands. The second person would stand near the Oreo eater to place another Oreo on their forehead once one dropped. This was surprisingly a harder game than the other Homecoming Week activities and only one student, freshman Preston Tilley (right), was able to get the Oreo from his forehead to his mouth in under a minute, scoring the freshmen class some extra points for the week.

Tomorrow will be Western Wednesday, so don’t forget your boots, plaid shirts, and belt buckles! The lunch time activity will be Redneck Rodeo, which will be a piggy back relay race across the gym. Three students from each class will be needed for this activity.
