The Blue Ridge High School Athletic Booster Club meets
the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. in the Teacher's Lounge/Commons
Area at the High School. All
parents of student athletes at Blue Ridge High School are encouraged to attend.
The mission of the Athletic Booster Club is to provide
financial and volunteer assistance to the Athletic Department at Blue Ridge
High School. This is for the
benefit of the entire student body by helping ensure the best possible athletic
experience. The Athletic Booster
Club also promotes awareness and interest within our communities for all
athletic events in which our students participate.
Activity
Involvement
Fall Preview: This event is held the Friday
before the first football game to introduce the fall sports teams. The Athletic Booster Club Serves a
light meal for a minimal charge.
Homecoming (in
conjunction with Student Council): Homecoming is the largest event for the Athletic Booster
Club. It includes a "Homecoming
Kick-off" the weekend before Homecoming week with powderpuff football, boys
volleyball, a Mr. & Mrs. Cool contest, other fun filled competitions and a
light meal. The Athletic Booster
Club also decorates the community and school to promote school spirit.
Fundraising: The Athletic Booster Club participates
in a few fundraising activities throughout the school year. We operate the football concession
during varsity games in addition to selling Knightwear annually. The Knightwear
fundraiser may include t-shirts, sweatshirts, polos, jackets, hats and stadium
seats. We also sponsor a pork chop
dinner during a varsity home football game.
"Pack the
Place/Flood the Field": One
game during each of the football, soccer, volleyball and basketball seasons is
designated as "Pack the Place" or "Flood the Field" to encourage attendance and
boost Knight spirit. Prizes are
given and special activities may be planned.
Grandparents'
Night: Grandparents of
student athletes are recognized and honored at designated football, soccer,
volleyball and basketball games during their respective seasons.
Athlete
Recognition: In
recognition of outstanding student athletic achievements, the Athletic Booster
Club gives a t-shirt to each of the student athletes that are selected as
Athlete of the Month by their coaches. Pictures of the Athletes of the Month
are hung up on the bulletin board in the Commons Area. Sports emblems are also hung each
season on John Street recognizing the students participating in the various sports. We also provide treats to the students
who achieve state recognition in their sport.
Spirit Award: The
Athletic Booster Club chooses someone annually from the community who has
contributed to the Knight spirit by volunteering their time and efforts and by
encouraging spirit by their example.
