Hello Grant Football Family!
We wanted to make sure to tell all of our families how much we appreciate your support with the Snapraise fundraiser. It was very successful and we made our goal and then some. What a crazy year and the boys have made the best of it, what great sons you have all raised. Incentive prizes will go out at practice today for those that chose them when signing up.

Help needed ASAP for Jefferson Varsity Game
We will need to cover 2 more spots chain crew and 1 more for the gate crew for Saturday’s game at Franklin at 5:15. We had some JV families do it last week (who are also doing the Box this week) and they had a great time. Thanks for your help! Please email karmenvonarx@icloud.com if you are able to help this week. JV parents normally handle these duties so varsity parents can watch.
Varsity
This week’s Varsity game will be against Jefferson @ 6pm at Franklin again. Gates open as soon as the game ahead of us is cleared out. There may be some waiting or it may be wide open. Hard to tell. Grant vs Jeff is always a fun game with lots of energy against our rivals. We will also be honoring all our Seniors. Please come early to show support to our Seniors and their parents. Keep in mind parking is not easy, so allow for extra time
Spectators will need wristbands to get in and only 4 per athlete so if senior families need more you may be able to get extras from Players that don’t need them. Let coach von Arx know if you need help getting tickets.
Varsity Bowl Game
The Bowl Game will be Friday, April 9th at 7 pm at Mountainside High School. We will let you know if they are allowing spectators next week.
Seniors
Senior families will need to arrive no later than 5:30 pm. The ceremony will begin at 5:45.
Senior Parents
The powers that be have not decided if they will let parents on the track for Senior night that is this Saturday before the Jefferson game at 5:45. Please Arrive at 5:30 to line up just in case to be introduced with your player (listen for an announcement over the loudspeaker of where to go.)
Most likely will be lining up along the track, socially distanced against the front of stands. Or up in the backs of the stands facing the track, along the rail.
Please don’t be late. We won’t be able to wait. Parking at Franklin can be scarce so allow for the time there. Feel free to bring banners or balloons for your player
In the event that only seniors will be announced we will have photos taken after the game with your player. So sorry that the pandemic has made this tradition different this year for our seniors. Our AD is working hard to make it happen.
We would like parents or Guardians to send us a letter that can be read by the announcer (live stream and game) when your player is on the field. This is needed ASAP.
Things we need from Parents:
Please prepare a 20-30 second letter by April 1st.
Tell us who your player is,
How long he has been playing football
His position
Some love and good wishes.
Name of Parents or Guardians and family names who may be on the field with the player for Senior night.
Please send the letter to Karmenvonarx@icloud.com
JV Game
The JV game will be at Aloha high school this Thursday at 4:30pm. We will be live-streaming the game, there are no spectators as far as we know.
Next game at Mountainside on 4/7 at 4:30. No spectators.
Media Guide link for this season
Better late than never. Here is the digital version. With things so uncertain, they couldn’t get it out before the season. All rosters and teams for this season are in it.

Coaches Gift
We have been so lucky to have coaches that have been able to work with the boys since October in this odd year. Please feel free to donate towards coaches gifts that will be given at the end-of-the-season awards banquet.
Thank you,
Friends of Grant Football
