Parents and students, please read the following info about concessions from their director and follow the link if interested:
"One thing we are offering this year to help concessions go faster is a meal preorder. All you have to do is send the link out to your parents and they can choose if they want to take advantage of this. It is cheaper than ordering each item at the window and we will have it ready form them immediately after ½ time. We unfortunately do not have a full concession stand on the away side so this will really help save time for the students."
