Booster Club Working on New Year
By Pam Hughes
Even though one school year has just ended, the Booster Club is already planning for and looking forward to another very successful year. We appreciate the support of each and every member. A special thanks to outgoing president Nancy Hillger, who has served in this capacity for the past four years. Also, a “great big thank you” to Tibby Niehues for organizing and working the concession stands at the district meets!
The Booster Club will continue to:
(1) Encourage students’ participation and involvement in extracurricular activities, including music, fine arts, academics and athletics, as a privilege and honor in representing Garden City Schools;
(2) Promote school and community pride as Bearkats and Lady Kats and as residents of Glasscock County; and
(3) Support and help provide leadership and citizenship experiences through selected activities that will help students prepare for a more useful and wholesome life.
Some of the services provided by the Booster Club, in addition to the concession stands at tennis and cross-country meets, include hosting the Bearkat Klassic basketball tournament (and concession stand), and sponsoring the Annual Awards Banquet in recognition of students’ UIL Academic/Athletic achievements.
Other special projects of the Booster Club include selling T-shirts, caps, visors, and window decals in support of the Bearkat and Lady Kat teams, highway signs, wall mats in the gym, and banners and decorations in the gym and at the tennis courts. Projects currently being considered are championship recognitions, track record boards, signs at the Bearkat Tennis Complex, and locker nameplates for the locker rooms.
The new Booster Club officers for 2003-04 are: President Pam Hughes, 354-2694; Vice President Scott Hillger, 354-2452; Secretary Connie Plagens, 354-2576; Treasurer: Tibby Niehues, 354-2220 and Reporter Marianne Hirt, 354-2488.
