Happy New Year!

The winter track season is off to a great start. We are 84 athletes strong and our sprinters, distance runners, throwers, and jumpers have been hard at work with Coach Washington both at the MHS gym and the Ocean Breeze indoor track.

One of the things we love about track as parents is that it’s so affordable. The school district generously covers the costs of basic uniforms, busing to practice and meets, and training. Athletes just have to pay for their own running shoes and there is even funding available for families who need financial assistance.

As the track program continues to thrive and grow, the boosters want to raise money to augment our athletes’ experience. Funds raised will go towards team fun nights, snacks, extra warm-ups and uniforms, entry fees for high level competitions, and scholarship funds. In addition, booster funds heavily subsidize our end of the year banquet, celebrating our team and our seniors, making it festive and affordable for everyone.

A gift of any size is meaningful, because a team is built by the efforts of everyone. We ask you to consider making a gift of $25, $50, $100, $200, or $250. You are welcome to make one donation for the year or for each season your athlete participates. Please note, we will not track donations therefore the booster will extend this request each season whether or not you have already donated.

A donation from every family helps us avoid car washes and popcorn sales, allowing our athletes to focus on improving their skills on the trail, track and field.

Thank you to everyone who supports the team by cheering on our kids at home or at meets, by feeding them when they get home famished after practice and by helping to build a collective spirit of inclusivity, pride, and hard work.

Thank you,

Booster Executive Committee
