The SHS Theatre Boosters Club is dedicated to charitable educational and artistic purposes. This organization allows a working relationship with the theatre teacher to benefit theatre students and members of main stage productions. In a typical school year, there is a fall production and a musical. In addition, each theatre class performs in a showcase to highlight work from class. Booster members help to generate enthusiasm for theatre groups and their activities as well as assist in approved fundraising projects. The booster club meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the drama room.

The Sanderson Athletics Club is an organization of parents and friends interested in maintaining unequalled athletic programs for the students of Sanderson High School. It provides support for funding needs (buses, equipment, facilities) organizing and sponsoring athletic banquets, and concession stands at athletic events, etc. Funds are raised through membership fees and the sale of advertisements in athletic programs. The Club holds its meetings on the third Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the school library. Everyone is invited to attend!

The Sanderson Band Boosters are dedicated to the development of a quality band program as well as the development of an enthusiastic spirit for music education. Through fruit and flower drives, yard sales, etc., we are able to offer financial support for numerous projects (costumes, trips, instruments, props, etc.). Our children in return share their talents with everyone at football games, concerts, musicals, competitions, etc. Meetings are held the second Monday of every month at 7:00 p.m. in the band room.

The Choral Boosters are students, family members and friends committed to supporting and continuing the tradition of excellence that has been achieved in vocal music at Sanderson. The organization works with the Choral Director to identify needs in the Department and implements activities to meet those needs. Among many others things, Choral Booster parents function as chaperones for chorus trips, fit and order chorus uniforms, coordinate receptions held after school choral performances, and organize a wide variety of fundraising activities, including the annual "Coffee House" where choral students showcase their talents. Often, the focus of fundraising is to provide choral students with multiple opportunities to subsidize their annual Spring Trips that have included award-winning performances at Disneyland and educational trips to London, England. Membership meetings are in the evenings and are held once a month. Contact Barbara McNeill, the 2011-2012 President, for more information at barbcra@earthlink.net.

The Sanderson Junior ROTC Boosters Club is a parent organization which supports the Junior Air Force ROTC program. The general moral, mental, and physical well-being of the cadets and members are a primary focus. Through membership fees and limited fund raisers, we support field trips to nearby bases, cadet participation in drill meets, parades, naturalization ceremonies, Special Olympics, and a number of other community service projects.

The Academic Boosters Club seeks to recognize and promote student excellence in school-related activities. We give a “pat on the back” to students who excel academically, to those who consistently work up to their potential, and to those who give that “extra effort” by improving their classroom performance.

The Academic Booster Club needs your support this year! We invite all Sanderson parents and teachers to join the efforts to promote excellence, perseverance and success among ALL Sanderson High School students.

The President for the 2010-2011 school year is Terri Northcutt. She may be reached at 522-4067 or thnorthcutt@nc.rr.com.
