Friday night will have the annual Powder Puff football game which benefits St. Jude Children's Hospital.  The game starts at 5:00pm at Coach McNelly Stadium. Junior and senior girls will play while junior and senior boys serve as cheerleaders.

Tickets for the Powder Puff game are $5 each and will be available at the gate.

In addition to the game, Saturday brings the Homecoming Parade starting at noon. The Spring-Ford Rams marching band will perform, as will the chorus and the middle school marching band. Members of the district's sports teams, local fire companies, members of the school board and local dignitaries will all participate. 

The parade will start at 7th Avenue and Washington Street, proceed down 7th to Main Street, turn left on Main and continue to 5th Avenue, and then turn left onto Green Street. From Green Street, the parade will end behind Coach McNelly Stadium.
