Thursday, September 24th is COMMUNITY NIGHT for Walter Johnson football! This is the night every fall when WJ welcomes friends, neighbors, and especially FUTURE WILDCATS to cheer on our teams. Families from WJ cluster elementary and middle schools are invited to come and see all the fun that's in store when their kids become WJ students.
Varsity game time is 7:00 p.m. versus the Wootton Patriots (the JV team plays at 4 pm and you get admission to that game too; but kid activities don't start until 6!). Come early to grab dinner or snacks at the concession stand, staffed by WJ students. The WJ school store () will also be selling Wildcat gear, including $10 T-shirts for the whole family — even kids' sizes! Be sure to check out the concessions stand and store on the concourse just inside the stadium gates. There will even be face painting, tattoos, and prizes for our younger fans.
Elementary and middle school students from our cluster schools are FREE, but MUST be accompanied by an adult. No drop-offs, and no large groups of kids with a single adult. We want to keep all of our current and future Wildcats safe!
Please note: non-students must buy tickets on the GoFan app or GoFan website (https://gofan.co/event/6707460?schoolId=MD24855). Tickets cannot be purchased at the gate but can be purchased on your phone and shown at the gate. But that means you can go ahead and buy them now so you don't forget!
