Football Schedule Change!
Our game has been moved up one day and will now be played this Thursday (10/23) to avoid the bad weather forecasted for Friday.
We’re still hosting Future Viking Night at UTA on Thursday. We’d love to see a big turnout of Future Vikings in the stands!
Have a great Wednesday!

We’d like to invite all of our Future Viking Football Players to join us for Future Viking Night on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23RD as the Lamar Vikings take on Arlington High School at UTA’s Maverick Stadium (Kickoff at 7:00 PM).
We want every future Viking in attendance—players from our Lamar Cluster feeder schools are invited to be special guests for the game. Students can wear their team jersey or a Lamar shirt and will have the opportunity to run out of the Viking Tunnel with the Varsity Team at 6:54 PM!
Event Details:
Date: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23RD
Time: 7:00 PM kickoff (meet by 6:40 PM)
Location: Maverick Stadium, UTA
Who: All Lamar Cluster youth and junior high football players
Entry: Free for AISD students with Student ID
Logistics:
Each group must be accompanied by at least one chaperone.
Players and chaperones should meet Coach Ramos, Coach Mitima, or Coach Harrison at the field entry gate by 6:40 PM.
After running through the tunnel, players will rejoin their chaperones and head to the stands to cheer on the Vikings.
This is a great opportunity for our young athletes to experience what it means to be a Viking for Life!

Bronco Families,
WOW! WOW! WOW! Your support and generosity have helped us exceed our goal of $75,000!!
Thank you so much for your help! Our Broncos had SO much fun yesterday celebrating their leadership development and fundraising. Special shout-out to our parents and staff who helped clean up after our “Car Wash” parties at the end of the obstacle course.
We will be keeping our donations site open through the weekend. The website may show that it is closed, but it will be open through midnight on Sunday, October 12th.
This also means that any NEW donations can still earn prizes! The APEX Team has let us know they will be back next week to deliver prizes to anyone who did not receive them today and for any new prizes earned over the weekend.
