Tonight is THE night! The district's homecoming celebrations are wrapping up this evening with our homecoming game tonight at Ram Stadium. The district has several things planned for the evening.
*JROTC is hosting Tailgates and Touchdowns from 4-6 pm. Students will eat for free, but a donation of $5 per person is being asked for any guests or adults who wish to eat. This helps fund further tailgates for games.
*PSD students are encouraged to participate in the student Run Through; it will happen at approximately 6:45 pm, right after the Ram Walk.
*PSD alumni are welcome! It's homecoming after all! This year, PSD will have a tent set up specifically for alumni. We can't wait to see you back on campus!
