Two beloved Jenison traditions converge once again on one amazing Friday night.
Hosted by the Jenison Public Education Foundation, the Kindergarten Tailgater kicks off the Sept. 12 festivities at 5:30 p.m. outside the football stadium.
Incoming kindergarten students will receive their special Class of 2038 T-shirts, enjoy popcorn, and connect with other families.
Then at 6:40 p.m., the kindergarteners will make a fun entrance into the stadium alongside Superintendent Dr. Brandon Graham before joining all elementary students in the Kid Cats Tunnel.
Meanwhile, the Kid Cats Game invites all TK–6 students to participate in the Wildcat football experience.
Elementary students will help form the Kid Cats Tunnel on the track at 6:30 p.m. to welcome the team. The football game kicks off at 7 p.m. against East Kentwood.
A special $10 family pass is available for this game, covering admission for up to six family members. JPS Athletics is cashless so tickets must be purchased ahead of time or at the gate with a credit card, debit card, or Apple Pay. Buy now
Jenison students and fans are encouraged to wear green and white to school and the game to show their Wildcat pride. Go Wildcats!
