Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The Hanover High School Sports Boosters (HHSS Boosters) raise money
for the athletes and sports programs at the high school. In these
tough economic times, some of the sports remain unfunded at the high
school. The athletic budget has been cut by $150,000 in the past two
years, so the trickledown effect is that individual sport budgets have
been cut and this negatively affects our student athletes.
Recently the HHSS Boosters have helped four unfunded sports and
supplied items that were eliminated from the athletic budget. Starting
this year, the Boosters have paid for any senior that attended any
home game. The HHSS Boosters also use funds raised to purchase varsity
letters, pins and bars, banners for the gym, senior day flowers,
crowns and gifts for the homecoming court, and scholarships for
seniors.
However, with the new school construction underway, the Boosters have
not had their main source of fundraising, which was the concession
stand, for the past two seasons.
The HHSS Boosters is doing new and exciting things this year. They
have a membership drive going on to keep in contact with families and
they have changed the format of the sports banquets to a “Wrap Up
Rally”. They also had their second annual Holiday Blitz, which is
now a big fundraiser. Their biggest fundraiser, the Patriots
Basketball game, is coming June 21, 2011. The game will take place at
the new Hanover High School gym. This event is always a huge family
favorite, and tickets are still available. Don’t miss out!
Many people have asked, “What does Boosters do?” and “Where does
the money go?” The Boosters hope this clears up those questions and
makes you want to become a Booster member.

the Web”, don’t forget to purchase a ticket to the Patriots
Basketball game on June 21, at 7:00 pm., too!
The Boosters would like to thank everyone for their continued support,
and also look for new members and welcome parental involvement in this
organization. For more information, please feel free to contact Lori
