Welcome Bobcat Families

Our Parent-Teacher Group (PTG) is excited to welcome each incoming kindergarten student and new family to the Bobcat community! Before the school year begins, PTG volunteers hope to deliver a special welcome gift to help make your family's transition to kindergarten even more memorable.

To make this possible, we ask that you complete the attached Google Form to let us know if we may share your family's address with our PTG volunteers.

Kindergarten Dash

Kindergarten participants will run the length of the turf field together before our 7:00 pm home football game on Thursday, September 3rd, vs. Strath Haven! All kindergarten participants will receive a "Future LION" t-shirt to wear for the event. Kindergarten families should arrive at 6:15 pm and meet on the track at 6:30 pm (near the scoreboard end of the field). The dash will be held at 6:40 pm. Students will be asked to quickly leave the field after the run to allow the football team time to warm up. Please note that this is NOT a drop-off event. We ask that only one parent or guardian accompany each kindergarten student on the field (no siblings, please).

Football game admission is $5 per adult (ages 12 and up). Cash only—please try to have exact change. Known as the "Media Bowl," this game typically draws a large crowd, so please plan to arrive early as parking may be limited. (Due to the holiday weekend, there will be no school on Friday, September 4th.)
