Attendance to this year’s game will be limited to 12,000 guests. Tickets are on sale for $10, available ONLY at Big Red Stores. T-shirts are not available for this year’s game. Bryant fans, be sure to purchase your ticket at a Bryant location. Game will also be available via pay per view.
Tickets will NOT be sold at the stadium on game day. Only AAA passes will be accepted for entry. No indoor club tickets will be sold.
Pediatrician groups, such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, recommend face coverings for school children as a very important way to reduce spread of the virus in schools. #WearItLikeaHornet

Dear Parents,
I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be the principal of Hurricane Creek Elementary. As I enter my 27th year in education, I bring perspective from the eyes of a student, parent, teacher, community member, and administrator. In all of these experiences my focus has remained steady, “Make decisions based on what’s best for the student.”
Saline County is my home, as I have lived here and raised my children here. I am married to Keith Vergason, who is also from this area. We have two adult children, Zane and Hannah, and a son in law, Seth. In our free time you’ll find us at the lake, hanging out with family, or cycling. My favorite childhood quote, “Treat others the way you want to be treated,” is the direction for which I steer each student’s behavior. I am confident that is what the world needs more of today.
I look forward to leading this great school as we move toward continued success. I am ready to stand alongside you and our incredible faculty of caring teachers and staff as we provide a safe and quality educational experience for your child. I am confident that together we can make this a positive year!
Here are a few important dates to remember: Class Lists will be emailed August 17, Virtual Open House will be August 19, Your child will Zoom with their teacher August 20, and the first day of school for grades 1-5 is August 24. Kindergarten students will begin August 27 at 9am. I encourage you to follow the District’s website on social media for daily updates.
Sincerely,
Jacqueline Vergason
