What an awesome way to start the morning! 🦁🏈

Our elementary students got a huge surprise at drop-off today when the high school football team stopped by to high-five, cheer, and welcome everyone to school. Nothing beats seeing our youngest lions light up when they see their favorite high school athletes!

Now it's our turn to show up for them. Head out to Lion Stadium tonight at 7:00 PM for the Benefit Game and cheer on the team.

Manila Little Lions Football Parents, the bad news is it’s another hot day today and the wet bulb is bouncing between practice and no practice. We are going to err on the side of caution and cancel practice today. The good news is it looks like we are going to get some relief from the heat and be able to go helmets and shoulder pads on Thursday! Please stay hydrated and “ Let’s Go Lions!” Also, make sure to come out tomorrow night at 7pm and support the High School Lions against 5A Greene County Tech. 🖤💛🦁💪🏽
