For the seventh year, the Rivalry Match returns as one of our favorite ways to rally behind Chelsea teachers and students.
This small-town football rivalry doesn't stay on the field. Chelsea and Dexter are each raising money for their own students.
Dexter has had our number the last few years. We know our students win no matter what, but this year we'd love to keep the bragging rights in Chelsea.
From August 26 through the end of halftime of the Chelsea vs. Dexter football game on September 25, every dollar raised helps move Chelsea toward our $25,000 goal. These donations directly support classroom grants and educational opportunities throughout the Chelsea School District.
So wear your blue, show your Bulldog pride, and help Chelsea earn a victory both on the field and in our classroom. Every dollar stays right here in Chelsea, making a lasting difference for our children.
