Senior Night Itinerary

This is the order of events, we cannot and will not postpone (or wait) for late arrivals. We will do everything on time according to the script:

The Ridgeview Game (10/4/24) is Senior Night, we will have the field setup for Senior + Parent/Guardian Walk, players and assistant coaches will lineup in designated support area, we will have a table with memorabilia, flower [rose | Mother/Female], a poster for each senior, and they will take a picture with the Head Coach (me) in front of our Football Media Backdrop.

Parent/Guardian Attire | Black, White, Teal, and/or Grey {Bold City Greyhounds Colors}

1. Parents/Guardians arrive before 5:30PM (entering through the back hallway entrance) to meet Coach Jordan in RM134. At this time, all Football Program Stakeholders will be preparing to line up on the field.

Email Excerpt

Hey all, 

First Coast News just informed us that they'd like to highlight KIPP Jacksonville in their "Five Schools in Five Days" series. We'd like to use this opportunity to highlight our regional academic wins, instructional practices, and student extracurriculars. While this is a great opportunity that could positively impact our student enrollment and community recognition, the turnaround to make this happen is tight.

 The station will be on-site at KIPP Bold City (football field) at 5 AM this Friday. 

If you're on this email, we need your help to make this happen. 

• Mr. Jordan — Can you bring 5-6 (Updated 15) football players in full uniform and come prepared to speak about your upcoming season and the game on Friday?  

Principals, you're all welcome to come with your admin teams- the more staff, the merrier. I've attached a link to the most recent story to demonstrate what we're aiming for. If you have additional questions, please reach out to Petrina Parker, our regional Marketing Manager, who is copied on this email. 

 Thank you all in advance for working hard to make this happen!
