School Wide Improvements
Can anyone guess how much
we have raised over the past
9 years?
On behalf of the MRHS Boosters Club, welcome to the freshman and new student orientation. My name is Jo Ann Kohler and I’m the Boosters president. I have been a parent at the school since 2007 and will continue to have a student here until my fourth child graduates in 2019.
The Marriotts Ridge Boosters Club is just one of the parent organizations. Our role is to serve as the fundraising arm of the school. With the money we raise,. During this school year, we have a budget of over $108,000. A few of the things we are paying for are:
athletic uniforms for baseball, softball, girls and boys basketball and girls lacrosse,
new equipment for the school weight room,
show design for the marching band,
theater rights for student productions,
National Honor Society stoles,
new Madrigal costumes,
new chairs and music stands for the music departments and
club funds for Speech & Debate, Culinary, FBLA, Model UN, Science Oylmpiad, Robotics and many others.
(Possibly ask for guesses on how much we’ve funded over past nine years)

You should have received a summer mailing last week that contains lots of important information from Boosters and PTSA. Extra copies are available at the boosters table outside the auditorium.
There are a two important things I’d like to ask of you today:
Join Boosters. There are various membership levels and you can sign up today outside the auditorium or pay online
Get involved. Volunteer your time at any of our fundraisers, join a committee or talk to me about any ideas you may have. I have met so many great people over the years through my volunteer experience and we all have the common goal of enriching our children’s high school experience. My name and address are on the summer mailing as well as the boosters website. You can get to the boosters website from the Marriotts Ridge home page.
This is an exciting time for you as well as your student. You will soon see that Marriotts Ridge is a great school to be a part of. By donating your time here, you will more connected to the school and other parents. I look forward to working with as many of you as possible.
