Over the last four years I have been involved with Boosters because I care about what happens in the place that my child spends the greater portion of her day. I was amazed at the level of dedication and support that Boosters provided to the staff and students at Stadium High School and the amount of money that they were able to raise each year in order to do that. Since my first year with Boosters I have seen a troubling trend of that support erroding and the number of those interested in helping with boosters has dropped to very sad levels. We have an average of 10 members at our booster meetings each month and they are usually the same 10 people month after month. We have a board of five and three of them are graduating senior parents. This is a scary time for a club that has been around for more years than I know and has done a lot of good things. On Mother’s Day I thought it fitting to reach out there to all you parents and beg you to stay involved in the lives of your children. Just because they are in high school does not mean they don’t need you to be around. Just because this is high school does not mean we don’t still need to raise money and support our Stadium Family. Now, more than ever, our school needs parents to come and to do great things. Just show up to the meetings once a month and find out how you can help. We raise nearly $25,000 a year and support anyone at the school, not just the athletes, and you could have a say in that. Please consider Boosters next year as a worthy cause to support because if you don’t they may not be around.
Happy Mother’s Day to all…
