A heartfelt thank you to our Booster Club leaders, Melanie Bates and Alexandra Von Maack, for their volunteer service to our Athletics Department. Not only do they volunteer to serve as leaders for this group, but they are also active in helping parent liaisons for the various teams throughout the year and serve as booster parent liaisons for multiple teams themselves. Their enthusiasm and dedication to helping make the athletics experience better for our coaches and student-athletes is amazing and greatly appreciated.

The Upper School Athletics program would like to also give a shout-out to the parent volunteers who took on the role of booster parent liaison for each of our fall athletic teams. A big thank you to Melanie Bates (volleyball), Katie Lieberman and Marina Lowe (girls soccer), Mary-Lou Smulders (girls tennis), and Joy Bateman (boys golf) for the time and energy they put into organizing and communicating with parents in each program, serving as ticket/concession table workers (volleyball), covering drinks and snacks for teams during the season, and helping plan and orchestrate the end-of-season awards celebrations. Your help is invaluable and we could not function at full steam without you. Many thanks!

Thank you to all the parents of student-athletes who participated in our fall athletic programs—your willingness to help when needed was much appreciated and your willingness to pay for a membership to join the Booster Club makes a difference for our programs.
