Mark your calendars! Just another reminder that the Homecoming schedule is different this year than normal. Our homecoming parade will be at 5:30 on Friday, October 7th, which will be followed by a Powder Puff football game at 7 pm. Our homecoming football game will be at 11 am on Saturday, October 8th, and our homecoming dance will be at 8pm-11pm on Saturday evening. Be sure to spread the word so no one misses the festivities this year!
Some families have received P-EBT cards for their child from the State as part of COVID food relief. One glitch is that it asks for the last 4 digits of your child's social security number. However, when you input that number, it tells you it is incorrect information. What you actually need to do is input "0000" and it should work. We hope this is helpful to you.
Comet Athletics are looking for those who have an interest in working events with various positions at our home games this year.

Hello Comet Families! We are looking forward to our first home football game tonight at 7:00. Hopefully, you will be able to join us. We just want to let you know that starting this year, we are not allowing outside food and beverages into any of our athletic venues. We invite you to come, cheer on our players, cheerleaders, and band students. Enjoy conversing with other community members. Maybe even grab a snack and/or drink from the concession stand. Above all, spread some Comet pride around the stadium. Thanks! Jen Hess
