Shikellamy Community Night coming
SUNBURY — Fans will get to meet the Shikellamy High School fall sports teams, coaches and cheerleaders when the school holds its third annual Community Night at 6 p.m. Thursday at the football stadium.
Admission to the event is free.
The program will begin with the unfurling of the U.S. flag by the school’s ROTC, after which master of ceremonies Kevin Herr, WKOK radio play-by-play announcer for the Shikellamy football games, will introduce new district superintendent Robin Musto and then the athletes.
The program will include members of the golf, boys and girls soccer, field hockey, cross country, girls tennis and football teams.
The football team will be introduced last and their new posters will be unveiled.
