Friday Night Lights in Paulsboro

Recent signers:
Shirley Dowe and 19 others have signed recently.

The Issue

Since as long as anyone could remember, Paulsboro High School has always played its home football games on a Saturday morning. Unfortunately, not as many people come out to support the team due to the early start time and the plain fact that it is a Saturday. Paulsboro is one of only a couple schools in South Jersey that still do not use lights so they can play night games. There is something special about the atmosphere at a Friday Night Lights football game, and Paulsboro is a special football town. Our goal is to receive enough signatures and present this petition to the school, in ultimate hopes to at least have one Friday Night Lights game for the 25-26 season.
