They will include:
• A bounce house

• Plenty of food, and Chef Chris Avtges, the new food services director will debut the Ram Burger.

New Principal Andrew Rockett has signed up for a dunk tank time slot. Other special guests will dare fans to dunk them.
The RHS band and cheerleading squad will also perform.
Several pre-game ceremonies are also scheduled, including an honor guard presenting the colors.
