Booster Club membership: Attaching the form in case someone would like to join the booster club and didn't get a sheet.  You can personally join or you can also get any businesses to join if you know of any who would like to sponsor our team.  Just send the form and the check with your daughter to practice to give to Coach Shirey, or... you may drop off at the administration office at the school anytime 7:30-3:30. If you or the business would like to have their name on the plaque outside the stadium, please return those forms no later than February 15.


Chair Backs--These seats are first come first serve except for those who had seats last year.  If you had seats last year and wish to keep those seats, shoot Mandy an email.  If you paid already, thanks a bunch and if not, just send a check with your daughter or drop by the admin office.  If you wish to change or not purchase those seats again this year, please let her know as well so she can offer those seats to others.  


And of course, we offer a one time $250 scholarship to every senior who graduates from our program.  Our only requirement is being enrolled in classes after graduation from high school.  Our fundraising/memberships all help fund these scholarships each year.  


I'm still working on our concession stand schedule, but once I get the final games entered in, I'll start sending that out to everyone to sign up.  Not sure how many shifts we will need covered, but hopefully we will have this out to you guys soon.  


Renee will be sending out an email soon as well regarding senior night activities and enlisting the help of some of our parents of the underclassmen.  We love celebrating our seniors each year and could use the help from several parents to do this!


Excited for the season to begin and loved meeting all the new faces.
