THE KIDS NEED YOU!

There are various ways parents can help, and we invite you to get involved:

1. Join the Booster Club. The Bethlehem Central Cross Country and Track and Field Booster Club brings parents together to help with meets and to raise money for items not included in the normal school athletics budget. Support raised by the club has helped purchase team tents and watches, and covered such other expenses as the cost of end-of-season awards, entry fees for national meets, and the hosting fees for this web site. To learn more about what we do, e-mail Bill McCartan. Thank you and see you at the meets!

Booster Club dues are currently $20 per family per year. Members receive a discount on the cost of awards banquets. To join, please mail-in the Booster Club Membership Form (a PDF file, in Adobe Acrobat format).

2. Parents can get involved! Send in the volunteer information sheet or contact Bill McCartan.
