Dear Columbus Academy Families,
All are invited to participate in the fifth annual Viking Rampage Challenge on Saturday, October 2. Please note that the course will be open from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. with registration beginning at 9:30 a.m. next to the middle school playground. It is a kid-friendly mud run through our campus woods so wear old athletic shoes and clothes that you don’t mind getting really dirty. Siblings and friends are welcome to join you, and adults often run the course, too, because younger children may need help with some of the obstacles. It is a free event – but participants must register by clicking here – followed by an afternoon filled with food trucks, the Fútbol Tailgate hosted by ¡Hola! and home games being played by our Viking sports teams.
Also, please note the following changes to the next two varsity football games:
The game tomorrow (Friday, September 24) was originally scheduled to be played at Buckeye Valley, but that school’s field is not currently in good condition so the contest has been moved to our Hondros Field. Kickoff is 7:00 p.m., and admission is free for everyone. It should be a beautiful fall night to come support the Vikings!
And next Friday (October 1), kickoff was previously announced as 7:30 p.m. because of the Charlie David Dinner, but our opponents have requested a traditional 7:00 p.m. kickoff because of their long trip back to Fort Loramie. The earlier kickoff will not affect the Charlie David Dinner food options, which will remain open from 5:00-7:30 p.m., but the popular boardwalk games portion of this community-wide tailgate event will shut down a half-hour early so that the upper-schoolers running those games can still make it to Hondros Field for kickoff. And if you want to see our pep band perform in the Lazarus Courtyard that evening, plan to be at Charlie David by 5:30. Parent volunteers are still needed for this fun event, which raises funds for our athletic teams. Please consider volunteering for part of the night by clicking here, and purchase your tickets here by the end of this weekend.
