Enthusiastic support can mean the difference between winning and loosing. The coaches and administrators know this and so opted for crowded buses over no cheerleaders.
But there is another solution. Adult volunteers interested in RCHS can organize a booster club to raise money for a van for the school. It can serve a variety of extra-curricular participants: cheerleaders, cross country runners, jayvee baseball players, jayvee tracksters, Future Business Leaders of America who participate in regional and state competition, musical groups and chorus and other clubs and school organizations. And the boosters can save the school board some money by donating a vehicle that doesn’t guzzle gas like the school buses now used for group transportation.
Fifteen passenger vans don’t come cheap. They average $10,000—a lot of money to raise in times of double digit inflation. But a joint effort between the kids and their adult boosters can get that much together, probably in time for the start of next year’s basketball season.
The county school board has asked superintendent William Bloomer for extra effort towards organizing parent volunteers and getting them involved in the schools. A booster club is a good place to start.
