Join the PTO and Herff families for a back to school night. Here, we will safely come together outdoors to reconnect with our old friends from Herff and make some new ones.
We will bring in some of the most-loved, food truck vendors from around the area such as Smashin' Crab, Slider Provider, Conchitas and Tim Can Custard.
You can purchase dinner for your family and then sit together on your picnic blanket to relax and listen to some fun dinner music by our DJ.
You will also be able to pick up your Herff Value cards and get a sneak peak at some of the year's new spirit wear.
We will have some fun activities for the kids such as a face painter and balloon artist, so stop by anytime. Bring your mask, your picnic blanket and join us!
