Due to the wet conditions, the Powder Puff Football Game has been postponed until next Wednesday, November 5. The weather looks beautiful for next week, and we want our students to have a safe and fun game! 🌤️
Safety is our first priority — we don’t want anyone getting hurt playing on a drenched field. Thank you for understanding, and we can’t wait to see everyone next week cheering on their class! 💜💛
