Dear Porter Football Families,
Welcome back to our returning families and hello to our new families! We are off to a busy start with practices and fundraising. When these first ten days are over, we look forward to enjoying some fun activities with you, but most importantly, supporting our great LTHS football teams!
It is our hope that all families join the Booster Club, membership is only $10. The high school athletic budget alone cannot pay for the coaching staff. Coach Kooi relies heavily on the Booster Club to provide funds (through membership and fundraising) to pay for the coaches and assist with other team needs. If you cannot join the Booster Club at this time, we ask that you still fill out and return the membership form. This way you will stay informed of what is going on within the LTHS football program. Another great way to stay informed is to visit our website www.lockportfootball.com.
On the Booster Club membership form is a volunteer sheet for numerous activities. Please consider signing up to work one game. We have a program with over 200 young men, so parent volunteers should only need to work once. If you have a freshman player, you could come out on a Friday and work either the 5pm sophomore game or the 7:30pm varsity game. Sophomore parents could work a varsity game and varsity parents could work a sophomore game. Varsity parents are always needed to cook and serve at the Thursday night pasta dinners. Pasta dinners are the Thursday night before home games. While we don’t have specific times yet for the pasta dinners, in the past cooking took place around 3pm and dinner was served around 5pm.
Our Gold Card fundraiser kicks off on August 12. Information on both the cards and prizes are attached.
Maroon & White Night is Friday, August 20. We are asking all families, if possible to donate an item listed on the attached sheet.
The Booster Club will be hosting a picnic for freshman families on Saturday, August 21. Please see the attached sheet for more information.
On Sunday, September 26 the Booster Club will be hosting their annual Fashion Show. Your invitation is attached. Please invite your family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc. This is a really fun event and a great way to meet with others outside of the football field!
The Booster Club concession stand is located at the south end of the stadium during all regular and playoff games. The spirit wear tent is just inside the gate entrance. Please support our food and apparel tents!
The Booster Club holds its monthly meetings on the first Monday of the month (unless it falls on a school holiday and then it will be held on the following Monday) in the East cafeteria at 7pm. All are welcome to attend! Please check our website for the latest news.
We realize this is a lot of information. If you have any questions, please contact any one of our board members. You can find their contact information on our website.
