Help Boost BSHS Booster Club

The Big Sandy Booster Club is one of the most rewarding and fun organizations to be in--but few know anything about it.

With only three fully active members, for them it is still a great organization to be in and even though none of the three have children in school any more it is still very rewarding--but few know anything about it. Current members are Barbie Martin, Maryetta Engle, and Dave Louvar.

The Big Sandy Booster Club simply supports Big Sandy school children in extracurricular activities. They might provide snacks and a meal to the ski trip participants or they might provide meals to those going on FFA conventions or football games far away and in towns that all too often do not have food at all or at best hotdogs from a school concession.

Maryetta Engle is one of the Booster Club members. She knows what is wrong with Booster Club.

“We need more members. I think Booster Club could be much larger. We have only a few regular members and a few more who help out when we are sponsoring an activity,” said Engle.

The Booster Club has two big fund raising events during the year. One is putting out the Community Calendar with residents birthdays bolded on the calendar.

The other large fund raiser for the Booster Club is annual Kick Off which is on August 25 at the football field at 6pm that evening. Burgers and hotdogs and fixings are cooked and volleyball and football players are introduced along with several new coaches for various fall sports.

The Kickoff is a lot of fun and it is great to see a community get together to start a fall sports season.

How about the parents of some of this players joining Booster Club to make a good club even better! Dues are $15.00 a year or a life membership for $100.00
