The Seattle Thunderbirds and Kent-Meridian High School are teaming up for an evening of school spirit Friday at the Kent ShoWare Center.
Kent-Meridian's DECA and video-production students will be "taking over" the T-Birds' hockey game to raise money for K-M, as well as to promote the school in the community.
K-M is selling special tickets, the proceeds of which will go back to the school. They can be purchased by calling teacher Megan Morgan at 253-373-4073, or by e-mailing her at megan.morgan@kent.k12.wa.us. The tickets are $22 - half of which will go back to K-M.
Kent-Meridian, incidentally, is where a number of high-school-aged T-Birds are students, as they stay with their billet families.
K-M will be a presence at each major event that night. That includes Kent Schools Superintendent Edward Lee Vargas dropping the first puck of the game, K-M students singing the American and Canadian national anthems, a K-M Zamboni ice-machine rider during intermission, and an intermission tricycle race between K-M students and staff.
K-M cheerleaders will be out on the ice leading the crowd in cheers, and K-M's mascots will pal around with T-Birds mascot Cool Bird.
