Booster Club Welcome

No one questions the superior quality of education the students at The Heritage School receive and we can be so proud of all the accomplishments our students reap‑-- from awards in drama, literary, and music, to scholarships to great colleges. We can be equally proud of our athletic teams. Our varsity and middle school programs continue to perform exceptionally well in our region and state competitions, last year alone winning 4 state championships in tennis, soccer, and cross country. The Heritage School has a superior reputation in the GISA AA and AAA divisions. The faculty and coaches do an amazing job of helping our children experience this success at our school.

The Heritage students, also, do an amazing job of juggling the demands of their athletic commitments along with their scholastic requirements. At Heritage, over 95% of our students are able to participate in athletic activities. Athletics become an important part of their success as a student and teaches them lifelong lessons like work ethic, organization, teamwork, communication, and integrity. More often then not, the grade point average of an in season athlete is higher than the athlete out of season. All of our recent valedictorians and salutatorians have played at least one sport at Heritage.

How can we support these outstanding, hard working young people and their coaches that spend their time encouraging them to excel? First, we can positively support our athletes and coaches with our attendance and cheers at their events. Second, we can become involved in the booster club. The booster club not only offers volunteer opportunities for adults, but also provides the financial needs for the extra items needed, but not covered by our athletic budget. This last year the booster club, among other things, payed for new bleachers in the gym and new track equipment to inable us to host meets. Far more money was donated on an as needed basis to help with team travel expenses, specialty items, other field equipment, and fencing. We are so grateful! Most of our money was raised thru membership drives; the remainder through concessions and fundraisers.

Our student athletes need and deserve our positive vocal and financial backing. Athletics should build self-esteem and foster school pride. The Heritage School Booster Club is dedicated to that outcome. We encourage al parents to join regardless of the age of your child because our efforts today will reap rewards for Hawk athletes in the future. Thanks you for your support of the Heritage Hawk Booster Club.

Sincerely,

Beth Marchman President
