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 McKillip 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 Varsity pasta dinners held on Thursday nights before each home game. 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 11th. Please see the attached sheet for more information.
The Booster Club will be hosting a welcome gathering for all players and families on Saturday, August 13th, at 12noon. Please see the attached sheet for more information.
Maroon & White Night is Friday, August 19th. We are asking all families to donate an item listed on the attached sheet.
The Booster Club is sponsoring a Pancake Breakfast on Sunday, September 18th, from 8a–11a at the American Legion in Lockport. Please see the attached sheet for more information.
On Sunday, October 9th, the Booster Club will be hosting their annual Fashion Show. Invitations will be going out within the next few weeks. 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!
Reminder: The concessions up front are sponsored by the Band Boosters, so please remember to come to the south end of the stadium and support the football boosters.
The Booster Club holds its monthly meetings on the first Monday of the month (unless it falls on a school holiday) in the East cafeteria at 7pm. All are welcome to attend! Please check our website for the latest news. If you have any questions, please contact any one of our board members. You can find their contact information on our website.
