'Super Duper Bowl' Kicks Off With Eagles Pep Rally At Pennsbury School

MORRISVILLE, PA —There's the Super Bowl. And then there's the “Super Duper Bowl XIII.”

The 5th graders at Eleanor Roosevelt Elementary School in the Pennsbury School District will lace up their boots and sneakers for the “Super Duper Bowl XIII” on Friday. A food collection to help the homeless is also a part of the event.

The students, led by their 5th-grade teachers, will play in the annual flag football competition, now in its 13th year, on Friday, Feb. 10. Following tradition, the game is played on the Friday before the Super Bowl.

The game has some special meaning and excitement this year with the Philadelphia Eagles playing against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII on Sunday.

The whole school will participate in an Eagles pep rally before the 5th-graders take to the field.

Students in each class came up with a team name and mascot based on the name of their homeroom teacher. They will wear their custom team T-shirts during the game.

The teams are:

● The Kean Kongs (Roger Kean, teacher)
● The Mean Machines (Jason Miller, teacher)
● The Rodriguez Raptors (Kelly Rodriguez, teacher)
● The Toledano Tornadoes (Arlene Toledano, teacher)

Students in grades K-4 are also supporting this cause. Classes have been making signs in order to cheer on all of the 5th-grade teams.

They have also donated canned goods that are placed in the decorated collection box of their favorite team. These items will be donated to the Bucks County Emergency Homeless Shelter in Levittown.
