Message from the SHS V.I.P. Booster Club
Happy New Year Everyone!
We hope you had a great holiday break and that everyone is back in the swing of this next semester.
First some quick recaps from the close of 2018:
Freshman Parent night was well organized by Jhina Tabulina Obrien and Brandy Johnson and with our Saxon Store cranking out SHS gear. Thanks to Frank Kolasa. It looks like we have some great enthusiastic incoming parents, so SHS VIP will be very exciting in 2019-2020.
Robi Vollkommer continues to find great Dine to Donate opportunities within our community providing opportunities to meet and mingle with SHS folks, have some good eats and contribute to the VIP fundraising efforts.
Keep on the lookout for our 50/50 raffle at the next basketball games. The Mortell family really has been doing a great job helping with this fan favorite type of fundraising.
For 2019, the SHS VIP Spring Calendar is packed with exciting events, which we invite you be part of, whether helping behind the scenes or jumping in and having fun!
First up is the ANNUAL TRIVIA NIGHT on February 8 at 6 pm run by Stacie Campbell and Latoya Walton. Who was the winner of the 1908 World Series? Who is the FONZ? How many states are
on the Mississippi river? These questions and more are the types of questions asked at Trivia Night. If you like or even love trivia, this event always has been a big parent and teacher event. Reserve your table or seat(s) for by February 1 at this link: https://goo.gl/forms/Va4mTytUEcrjRVck1. There will be an open bar, dinner served. Volunteers are also needed.
Scholarship applications are due on February 15. We look forward to many applications.
Students will be heading to winter formal on February 16. VIP volunteers are needed to help with refreshments and coat check.
Prom is only a few months away. The SHS VIP Prom Fashion Show will be held on Wednesday, February 27, 2019 at 7 pm in the auditorium to give students a chance to see the latest Prom attire styles from a local tuxedo and dress shop. Junior and Senior models should apply by January 25 using the application on the SHS home page. Lori Murray ([email protected]) has further information.
Warm Regards, Kathy Pyde and Carolyn Trinka, Co-Presidents
