Games on April 28 will begin at 4 p.m. and include football; volleyball; an eating contest; and a slip and slide.
Only Little Wolf High School students will be allowed to attend. Masks will be required for participants and fans.
The week will conclude Saturday, May 1, with the Prom dance from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Union Thresheree grounds in Symco.
The theme of the dance is “Bright Lights, Big City.”
A coronation will take place at 9 p.m., with parents allowed on the grounds for pictures from 9 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Parents will receive wrist-tickets from their students. These tickets are required to get on the grounds.
Masks will be required for all.
