Wishing all of you safe travels to Kerens this evening!
I have reached out to the Kerens Superintendent to double check on face covering requirements and seating. Volleyball will be in the gym and will be filled to 50% capacity. Face coverings are required upon entry and during the contest.
For entry into the football game, face coverings are also required and we can fill the stadium to 50% capacity.
Even at 50% capacity, there will be room for those wishing to attend.
I ask that at both events you practice social distancing among those not in your family groupings and adhere to the policies that Kerens ISD has in place. I am excited to get our seasons started and hope you can come out tonight and support our kids!
