Defeat...

Good morning,

Unfortunately for Bills fans, Buffalo was unable to overcome the New England Patriots last night, so there will be no victory day Bills gear today. Very sad...

Better luck next time!

Buffalo Bills victory day today!

REMINDER: To celebrate the Bills victory yesterday, we are going to allow the students to wear their favorite Bills shirt or jersey today! Note that these are not dress-down days, and normal school dress code rules will still apply, with the exception being that students may wear a Buffalo Bills themed shirt, jersey, sweatshirt, etc. on top. Since it is Friday, however, students will be allowed to wear gym clothes all day if they have fewer than five character essays so far this semester, in addition to the Bills shirt.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and GO BILLS!

Buffalo Bills victory days

Hello Parents,

It's football season, and many of us are Buffalo Bills fans - to those who aren't, I'm sorry. : )

To celebrate our favorite NFL team, we are going to allow the students to wear their favorite Bills shirt or jersey after the Bills win select games this season and (knock on wood) in the postseason! Note that these will not be dress-down days, and normal school dress code rules will still apply, with the exception being that students may wear a Buffalo Bills themed shirt, jersey, sweatshirt, etc. on top.

This will not be a weekly occurrence, but will be for the remaining Bills divisional games against the Dolphins, Patriots, and Jets, as well as a couple big games on the schedule, vs. the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. Mark your Bills schedule that you keep on your fridge!

I will also send out reminders beforehand. The first such game is tomorrow, 9/18 vs. the Miami Dolphins, so root for the Bills to "squish the fish" in order to be able to wear Bills gear on Friday!

Please let me know if you have any questions, and GO BILLS!

In Christ,

Pastor Rickner
