Booster Club urges more middle‑ and high‑school support for fundraising
Summary
A representative of the Boosters asked the Crow‑Applegate‑Lorane SD 66 board for better participation from middle‑ and high‑school students, parents and teams to staff concession stands and sustain fundraising, proposing a standing monthly agenda slot for updates.
Members of the Crow‑Applegate‑Lorane SD 66 Booster Club appealed to the school board for more help with fundraising activities, saying most fundraising labor is currently done by elementary parents and volunteers.
“We need more community support, particularly from the junior high and high school,” said a Booster Club representative during public comment, urging athletic teams to take assigned concession nights to avoid volunteer burnout. The speaker said poor communication between school levels leaves the Booster Club relying on a small group of volunteers and elementary families to raise money.
Board members discussed ways the district could help, including regular agenda time for Booster updates and improved distribution of fundraising information. The chair asked whether the boosters would like a recurring slot on the agenda; the speaker answered yes and asked to update the board monthly.
The Booster also suggested using incentives for student participation and coordinating team‑run concession nights, a model some nearby districts use. The board did not vote on any formal action but noted staff would look at report scheduling and communication channels.
