NEW BUSINESS:
Pizza Sales by Senior Class at Home Varsity Football Games—The question of the senior class selling pizza was discussed. It is not an option for the varsity games because of the competition with concessions and pork sandwich sales, but selling at JV football games is an option.
Mats for Middle School—A photo of the mats was passed around. The total price of the mats is $7500. Originally the Booster Club was approached about paying 1/3 of the total cost, but it has been asked if the Booster Club would pay ½ of the cost, with the other ½ being split between the middle and high schools. It was further asked if the Booster Club would be willing the pay the entire amount up front with ½ being reimbursed to the Boosters after the holiday tournaments. Matt C. inquired as to what financial commitments the Booster Club currently has. Track and cheerleading uniforms at $1200 and $850 respectfully were reported as current commitments. There is no price yet on the trophy case. The sprinkler system was also brought up, with no cost determined yet on that potential project. Extensive discussion followed. Lisa M. made a motion to table the decision on the Booster Club’s contribution until after the tournaments at which time the school will have a better idea of the amount they can contribute and the Booster Club will decide what amount to contribute at that time. Seconded by Mike C.—motion carried.
Middle School Cheerleaders—Jenny Schunke and Shelly Daniels were present to request a donation to go towards the uniforms for the middle school cheerleaders.
