Football Game Guidelines:
We are excited to see your Halloween spirit at the football game on Friday night! Costumes are ok, but there are some guidelines:
· No face masks or full-face coverings – we need to be able to identify all students.
· No fake weapons of any kind – even if they’re part of a costume.
· No backpacks or large bags will be allowed in the stadium.
· Please keep costumes school-appropriate and respectful – nothing offensive.
If you’re not sure whether your costume is okay, please check with GHS Administration or Officer Berthoud ahead of time. Let’s keep it fun, safe, and full of school spirit as we cheer on our Green Machine!
Also, this is a reminder that there is a Pep Rally on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at Bob Reade Field.
