Football Seating--Increased Student Spirit

As you may have noticed, our Student cheering section continues to grow each week!  We are so proud of our Mustang Students and their enthusiasm for their school.  We tried a new seating arrangement last week that did not work well, and we're going to try again this week.  Attached is a map of what we'd like to have happen at our games tonight.  We will be marking off the sections tonight and we ask that parents and other spectators do not sit in the student section, or the Band section for tonight's game.  Let's help the school spirit grow as we encourage our students to get involved and excited about our great teams this school year!
