1st Annual Bullet Dash 5k Color Run on 9/15/18

The Williamsville Sports Boosters and the Sherman Area Chamber of Commerce proudly bring you the 1st annual Bullet Dash 5K Color Run!

Race entries are $30.00 for adults, $20.00 for kids 14-under and kids 5-under are free. You can sign up online at www.bulletsgear.com, or contact the Williamsville Sports Boosters.

We recommend everybody wear a white shirt, for color purposes but is certainly not mandatory.

The event will kick off with a pre-party at the Sherman Athletic Club at 2:30 until the race starts. The race starts with the timed runners going at 3:45, and the remainder being staged starting at 4:00. The 3.1 mile race route will take you through Quail Ridge and Steeplechase, starting just south of the AC Club and finishing just north of the AC Club.

There will be Sherman Area Chamber of Commerce businesses, along with other vendors along the route providing giveaways, food, games and other business information.

All race entries will get a 10% discount at the Bullets Gear Trailer on hand that day.

Seating at Home Varsity Football Games

In an effort to make the experience more enjoyable for all fans at Bullet Varsity Football games, Williamsville High School does not allow the saving and/or marking of seats prior to the gates opening at Paul Jenkins Field. All seating within the stadium is general admission and will be available on a first come first serve basis when gates open one hour prior to the scheduled kickoff time. Any and all materials placed on the bleachers prior to the opening of the gates on game day will be removed and confiscated. If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact the athletic department at Williamsville High School.

ILMEA All-State Ensembles

Seven WHS musicians were selected for ILMEA All-State Ensembles this year. This is the highest honor a student-musician can receive in our state. It is only through years of hard work and dedication to musicianship that this highest level of achievement is possible. It is a credit to the students and all of those that support them that they have progressed to this point. They will all participate in a 3-day state festival in late January and perform in ensembles with the best student musicians from around the state. Please help us in offering them congratulations!
