ARE YOU A PARENT OF AN ATHLETE? If so, this message is for YOU!
The Athletic Booster board is looking to fill three positions (President, Vice President, and Auditor) in the 2017-2018 school year. The duties include participating in one-hour monthly meetings, committing (minimal) time at various fundraising events, and making important decisions about our contributions but most importantly interact with fellow athletic/school staff members and parents. Without a full board, we will not be able to continue to support our athletes and provide financial support to the various sports programs. This means the sports programs will need to do more fundraising which means more contribution from us parents. Please consider joining so the Athletic Booster board can continue to function and provided the much needed $$$ to all our athletes and sports programs. Come to our next board meeting on 5/18 @ 6:30PM in the GHS library. Meet the current board and the athletic/school staff and determine for yourself.
For the 2016-2017 school year, the Athletic Booster board contributed over $6,000 to various sports programs along with scholarships to our graduating athletes. Here is a summary of items we help fund:
- $1,300 for chenille patches, league championship banner and program ads
- $2,100 for scale, pole, balls, fence rental and other sports equipment
- $400 for food at various sports banquets
- $2,500 for scholarships
