What better way to prepare for the big game than with the annual Powderpuff flag football

game?! For those who don't know, powderpuff is designed to showcase your team’s skill, speed,

ability and cunningness. Each grade will fight for the coveted top spot and a point towards this

year’s class cup. Will this year be another upset or will last year's winners, the Seniors, take the

championship again? Don't worry gentlemen, the girls won't get all the spotlight. This year we

are adding "pep squads" to our homecoming line-up. These squads will be tasked with cheering

their girls to victory. The best squad will be recognized while also earning a point towards the

class cup. The game will be held on the football field directly following the Homecoming Parade.

If you are interested in participating in this Golden Bear tradition, fill out the correct form on

Google Classroom. To participate in either event, a Powderpuff T-shirt must be purchased by clicking the link https://www.itsazshirt.com/shsppfb22/shop/home
