The McTvs Murphy football game will be held at Ladd-Peebles Stadium Friday night. Kick Off is 7pm. There are a few important points to make note of.

1. Tickets can be purchased at the following link:

https://gofan.co/app/events/678410?schoolId=AL13523

2. Ladd-Peebles has a Clear Bag policy. This includes purses. Absolutely NO backpacks are allowed!

3.The game is an Orange Out

4. Only one gate on the visitor side is open and everyone must enter the game through that gate. You will have to go through a metal detector and security checkpoint prior to entering the stadium. 

5. We strongly urge you to get to the game early and enter the stadium early. Last year we had many fans waiting in a long line to enter. Many did not enter until after the 2nd quarter began.

So now, I’d like to invite you to help SWARM our faculty and staff with appreciation through the PTO!

You will get PTO information via “The Weekly Buzz” email but especially by joining your Class Facebook Page. It’s a great resource to ask questions, get to know other parents and get reminders-which I know we all appreciate!
