Attention Polar Bear Nation: With the big homecoming game this Friday, please be reminded of the MCS policy of students/children under high school age requiring an adult for entry. Due to unruliness, children need to be with an adult that will be responsible for them, and not a random person walking into the stadium. Additionally, we will not accept 1 coach bringing in large teams and then letting them loose around the stadium. We are also enforcing the no backpack policy for everyone's safety. DO NOT DROP YOUR ELEMENTARY OR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT OFF WITHOUT SUPERVISION. Thank you and Go Bears!
