Good evening, Redbirds! Homecoming Committee here with an update on tonight’s bonfire. We are disappointed to inform you that due to the weather, we have made the decision to cancel the bonfire.
That being said, we will be moving homecoming court announcements to Monday during school. We are planning to light the bonfire on Wednesday night at the color run. Hope to see you at all the fun events to come this week.
