We have continued to plan for our homecoming festivities. We are incorporating our "Community Connection" hotdog roast and having it right at our stadium. DTE is sponsoring drinks from our concession stand for those attending as well. Once the festivities at the stadium have concluded we will be offering tours of all of the facility upgrades and changes at the elementary school. Please see a full list of Friday Homecoming Festivities on the attached graphic.

On Monday afternoon Vestaburg forfeited our Friday night varsity football game. Our administration has exhausted all options for finding a new opponent. We continue to hold out hope that we will find a team to play, but that is not likely at this point. After meeting with the student council, it was decided that we would carry on with our Homecoming festivities with some minor adjustments. The schedule of Friday night’s events is below. The dance will be as scheduled on Saturday night.

You're invited to our next Community Connection Event! Please consider joining us after the parade for a pre-game tailgate event. All community members, school families, and businesses are welcome to attend. We can't wait to see you there! #WeAreMerrill #VandalPride
