Colonial Nation,

With today’s announcement of the closure of schools for the remainder of this school year, it has come to light we will be without spring sports this year. This creates a void for so many of us, but not nearly as significant as the void that will be felt by our senior athletes. Most of us have had the enjoyment of having senior experiences like senior seasons of sports, prom and graduation. Although we do not know exactly what you are going through, just know the Colonial family is always here for you if you need. On April 24, 2020 we paid tribute to our senior spring athletes who will be missing their final Colonial season. Along with many other schools around the state, William Penn ran 20:20 off the football scoreboard at 8:00 pm for a ‘Friday Night Lights’ tribute to the senior athletes from the class of 2020.
