Seniors and Juniors received at email with a link to the Google Form sign up where they could sign themselves up to attend the game. If they are admitted into the game, they should receive an email back confirming their participation.

Students across the school are rejoicing at this announcement. Senior Allyson Aicher says, “I can’t wait to attend the game and cheer on our school.”

She continues on to say, “I’m glad the seniors get to have at least one football game to go to.”
