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, they are 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 Cyndi Baughman, girls soccer; Mary-Lou Smulders, girls tennis; and Joy Bateman, boys golf, for the time and energy they put into helping to organize and communicate with other parents in each program, to serve as ticket/concession table workers (volleyball), to cover drinks and snacks for our teams during the season, and to help plan and orchestrate the end-of-season awards celebration for their respective teams. 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.
