Greetings Scottie Fans!
All you Scottie Fans it’s time to stand up and clap your hands!! The summer has flown by, it seems like just yesterday that we were at the Scottie Sports Banquet, honoring our student athletes and the graduating class of 2024; best of luck to them and there incredibly bright futures.
Another year of Scottie Activities is upon us, and all our extracurricular activities are great fun for the whole family. Football, Volleyball, Cross Country, and Cheer, along with the Speech and Drama teams, will soon be hard at practice. The Band will be firing up that iconic school song.
Your Scottie Booster Club is a major partner with all our school’s programs, and we are again asking for your continued help in supporting our Students, Athletes, Speech & Drama Teams, Band & Choir Members, along with the Cheer Squad. Your Scottie Booster Club was able to give to your school $26,913.75 this past year, spread across a wide range of needs that the school is not able to meet with its budgeting concerns. Your Booster Club is behind the school administration in there efforts to upgrade the outdoor sports facilities and the high school as they are in dire need of an upgrade and the Scottie booster Club paid for the studies and advertisements on the Scottie Field Recharge in the amount of $11,015.93 these funds were taken out of the Capital Improvement Fund that has been set up to help our school with these types of expenditures.
The booster club provided $3,000 in scholarships to former Scottie and area students through the (JJMT) Jeff Jurgens Memorial Tournament. Your booster club also made contributions in 2023 to the Montana Community Foundation in the amount of $10,000 and it is currently valued at over $305,154 and your club has also contributed $40,000 to the capital improvement fund and it is currently valued at over $117,380.
