Dear APS Families and Community Members, I would like to invite you, your families, neighbors, and friends to our annual Valor Football Game this Friday, September 18, 2026, at 7:00 PM at Wildcat Stadium. This year's game holds special significance as September 18 is National POW/MIA Recognition Day. In honor of those from Alpena County and across the nation who were POWs or remain MIA, the evening will feature: - Military Flyover: A special flyover honoring National POW/MIA Recognition Day. - Tribute: A dedicated moment to honor our missing service members, veterans and first responders. We hope you will join us to pay tribute to our military, veterans and first responders while supporting Wildcat Football.
Sincerely, Dave Rabbideau
