Earlier in the week, PIAA District XI announced the school districts that would be participating in lighting up their football stadiums from 7:00pm to 9:00pm each Friday until the end of May.
A total of 46 school districts across District XI of the PIAA participated.
Some schools held their own unique events like North Schuylkill. The Spartans allowed students and the community to join in the lighting of the stadium at 8:20pm, as long as they stayed in their vehicles. The North Schuylkill Class of 2020 also came up with different causes to support each week. This week supported the member of a Classmate, Victor Klinger, who died in an Ashland fire when the Class of 2020 was in kindergarten. Each car was asked to place a stuffed animal on their hood during the lighting to show that they were thinking of him.
The Saint Clair School District and Nativity BVM joined together and held a parade at their stadium in Saint Clair to recognize their first responders.
Pottsville did not light their stadium, but they did light their observatory tower.
