As a parent with a student participating in a team sport at KMHS, what is required of me in concessions? The Booster Club asks the athlete and/or parent(s) sign up for volunteer hours in the concession stands. The volunteer requirement is for four (4) hours per athlete/family, per sport.
What is asked of an athlete's parent for Booster Club attendance? Athlete's parent(s) are welcome to volunteer to become a Team Liaison. The Team Liaison attends Booster Club meetings monthly. That being said, all athletes and family members are welcome to attend any and all Booster Club meetings, which are held the second Wednesday of each month.
What is asked of an athlete's parent for Booster Club volunteering? All athletes are expected to donate time in the Booster Club concession stand for at least four(4) hours per athlete and/or family per sport.
What counts as Booster hours? An athlete or parent volunteering in the concession stand that directly profits from the items being sold counts towards Booster Club hours. For current opportunities, please click on the link for the Current Volunteer (SUG) Opportunities. Please note that volunteering for a team event or youth league may not meet the requirement for the Booster Club Volunteer Hours. If the event does not have a SUG listed on this site, it is most likely not going to count towards the required hours.
Who do I contact about volunteering? There are options: You may contact your Team Liaison or Team Representative to find out how to volunteer in the concession stands, contact any one of our Board Members, and/or clink on the links provided in the Current Volunteer (SUG) Opportunity page.
Do I have to sign up on SignUp Genius AND in the concession stand the day I volunteer? YES, we ask volunteers to sign up on SIGNUP GENIUS if a computer is accessible to them so that we know we have a sufficient amount of volunteers in the concession stand for an event. We ask that you sign in on the Volunteer Hours Sheet in the Volunteer Hours Binder at the beginning and end of your shift. If you are a family member or friend working in place of an athlete, please write the athlete's name on the sheet and indicate the team sport you would like to have the hours credited toward. This information is then tabulated and uploaded into the Volunteer Hours Spreadsheet by the Volunteer Hours Coordinator.
Who can volunteer (parents/students/siblings/friends)? Students, parents, siblings or friends over the age of 14 can volunteer in the concession stands.
How do I get credit for hours worked? Please sign up to volunteer for a specific event on SIGNUP GENIUS links provided. We ask that you sign in when you enter the concession stand for your volunteer shift and indicate the team sport you would like to have the hours credited toward.
