Message from the SHS V.I.P. Booster Club

Wow! It has been an incredible year. It has been a pleasure to serve through leadership roles of the SHS VIP Booster Club. We are proud of and deeply appreciative of all the accomplishments and efforts of the committees to raise funds for the clubs and activities throughout the year.

In addition to presenting scholarships, SHS VIP gives back to our community through mini-grants to clubs and activities. This year’s mini-grant recipients made a Thank You Video Message. Please watch: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ubwhVj3L_G97aSJc3Vq8cHEuSqCvWNGk/view. It sums up their appreciation for our volunteer parents and gives a glimpse into the breadth of activities at SHS.

As the graduates of SHS Class of 2019 embark on the next chapter of their lives, we wish them all the best!

--Warm Regards, Kathy Pyde and Carolyn Trinka, Co-Presidents
