The Booster Experience! ​

EVERYTHING we do is volunteer.   We staffed dozens of sporting event concessions, annual Victory Supper, organized sports signings, and manage Hall of Fame voting and selection.   

Meetings are the third Wednesday every month, at Pizza Shoppe in Platte City.    Check Facebook for updates, agendas and cancellations. Though we keep it low-key and fun, detailed minutes are taken and maintained and decisions are decided through popular vote by members.  

Volunteering 
  • Sign up to volunteer- We use Sign-up Genius to schedule and track all volunteer hours.  The link is below and on the website.  
  • Participation- As reminder , as a booster we expect each family to participate in staffing the concession stands. Absolutely, don’t miss your kids play.  However, we expect football parents to help cover winter sports and baseball/softball. By the same token, those parents can help on Friday nights.  JV parents can work Varsity games and vice versa.  There are plenty of shifts through the year, most only last a couple hours of your time. Grab your spouse, best friend or reluctant teen. It’s the easiest thing you’ll do all week.  
  • Friday Night Lights- It’s especially important to help with Friday night football, by far our largest fundraiser. (Friday’s require a staff of 12.)    For instance, its common to gross over $5k each home game.  Big games with big traveling fan bases (Smithville, Grain Valley, etc) you’re going to push that closer to $10k.  We pay wholesale for food and drink, which adds to out bottom line. Packaging and other items are donated by our amazing local sponsors ( Sonic, Price Chopper, and Scimmeca's)  In short, our funding for ALL Pirates activity grants originate from our Friday night volunteering.  Make sure we keep those Friday slots filled.  
  • Represent your sport - When you volunteer for concessions, you are representing your student's activity.  We like to see Volleyball hoodies at the football game and football t-shirts in the volleyball stand. Show your Pirate pride and show how the individual activities support one another.  
  • Staffing- Most of our Booster Club board turns over at the end of this school year. (Seniors!) Please consider serving this school year and stepping into some of those roles.  It’s a lot of fun to see the behind the scenes of PCHS activities and get direct access to the coaches and staff.  
  • Follow us- Key sites are below.  Twitter is the best one. (and a great way to follow all Pirates sports; so much going on all the time). The website is your one-stop shop for social media, signups, volunteering, gear etc.  We are keeping that updated now.  Email is monitored by board (not bored)  members. Never hesitate to drop us a line.  

Last; Thank you for all you do and your support!
