Colonial Heights, get ready for one of the most heartwarming games of the season — Elementary Football Night is tomorrow, Friday October, 10th at 7:00 p.m. at the Colonial Heights Athletic Stadium! 🏈💙

Elementary students (and youth “Heights” football players in jerseys) get free admission with a paying adult. At halftime, our Tussing Tigers, North Stars, and Lakeview Owls will take a proud lap around the track — a favorite Colonial Heights tradition!

As a reminder, you can celebrate your elementary alma mater by dressing in school colors, mascot gear, or through purchasing an Elementary Alumni T-shirt, available for $20 to support each school’s PTO (if interested in an Alumni T-shirt, please reach out to the elementary school).

We can’t wait to see our whole community come together under the Friday night lights, see you tomorrow! 🌟
