Townsend School District

Attention Bulldog Fans! The annual Blue and White Scrimmage is scheduled for tomorrow (August 21st)- Volleyball @ 5:00PM & FB @ 6:00PM. Unfortunately, the football scrimmage has been cancelled, but an open practice will be held for spectators to enjoy. Things will look a little different for spectator attendance at our games and events this year. As of now, all spectators are required to wear masks at all events, both indoors and out, and social distancing must be practiced. For our indoor VB event tomorrow, immediate family can attend and sit together. Student fans will be accommodated next, and if spacing allows, other Townsend fans will be seated last. Once approved by the BCH Department, a final spectator policy will be posted. We cannot thank you enough for your cooperation during this difficult time, and in the end, we all want our athletes to be able to compete in their events...GO BULLDOGS!!!
