Educating the whole child through
student clubs and athletic programs continues to be important to us.
Unfortunately, with the defeat of the 2006-2007 school budget, the
district was forced to make significant cuts and some very difficult
decisions had to be made. Among those was a reduction in funds for
non-mandated clubs and activities. In order for us to maintain our
valuable and enriching co-curricular activities, while at the same time
maintaining a balanced budget, students will be charged a non-refundable
fee for participation in extra curricular activities. The non-refundable
fee for joining each club will be $15. In addition any costs associated
with the club will be paid for directly by students or through fund
raising. Download the club/activity fee
form.
