All Sports Booster Club donates $9,000 to SCS Athletics

School sports and athletics provide benefits beyond physical fitness. Students build self-confidence and school pride, learn teamwork, develop problem-solving skills, learn positive personal habits, and form friendships with their peers. And they have fun, too. Their families and the larger community benefit as well.

On July 12, All Sports Booster Club President Ann Bevins and Past President and Coordinator of Fund Raising Barb Sharpe presented a generous, $9,000 donation to the Schoharie Central School Board of Education to enable the district to continue offering several Junior Varsity sports and Varsity cheerleading, activities that had to be cut from the school budget.

Boys Varsity Basketball Team Collects Donations for the Regional Food Bank

The Boys Varsity Basketball Team did a wonderful job collecting food and money for the Regional Food Bank at a recent Siena basketball game. They collected 688 pounds of food and $1,010 by selling raffle tickets for prizes donated by Siena. Students had to ask fans, as they were entering the arena, if they would like to buy raffle tickets to benefit the Food Bank. It's not an easy thing for a lot of people to do, but they were very professional, polite, active, and effective. $1,010 is a lot of money to raise in one hour! They also helped pack up the food, loaded it into a vehicle for transport, and unloaded it at the Food Bank. The students were also able to enjoy the game, which made for a fun night. Many of these students have been helping with this annual event since they were in 7th Grade. In fact, it is a point of pride for them to see how much money they can raise. We here at SCS are very proud of them for their dedication to the cause. Participants included: Eric Croote, Chris Kelley, Tim Beninati, Pete Quandt, Cody LaBadia, Aaron Scofield, Brendan Archer, TJ Smith, Craig Stalker, and Skyler Scavone.
