What is boosters?

Boosters is an organized group of parents who help support academic, social and athletic activities that enrich the experiences of ALL students at Red River High School. We are not simply a booster club for sports; we are open to all parents and we support many activities. The money we use to support the activities and fund requests comes primarily from operating the concession stands at Red River High School. Each year, over $20,000 is distributed based on requests from various student activities that school budgets and participation fees don’t always cover. Here are some of the activities we have supported:

• Debate, Math Track meet, Freshman Orientation, Band, Choir

• School improvements (scoring table, weight room, display cases, RR logo entry mats, etc.)

• Athletics (fan appreciation, team awards, video cameras, practice jerseys, equipment bags, etc.)

• Senior Blast, After-Prom party, Senior BBQ, Teacher Appreciation, Leadership Council

Where does the money come from?

Your time is money! The money we use to support the activities and fund requests comes primarily from operating the concession stands (about 95% of funds are from concessions). It is recommended that parents volunteer a minimum of 2 shifts per activity per child. The more parents that participate, the better and the volunteer time commitment could be spread out and help lighten the load of shifts per volunteer as well as emails sent out. Their is also a manual to reference when in the concessions.
