According to Shana Smith, principal Roy Ballentine has given permission for the classes to tailgate on the soccer field as long as the area trash is picked up when they are done and the “grounds are left as we have found them.” She said the class of 2001 will tailgate.
Many of the classes have custom-designed T-shirts they will wear.
