President's Letter

Hello and Happy Holidays!

The Boosters' mission is to support our students and staff and Conant community in any way we can identify need. As the end of 2018 quickly approaches, I am reflecting on how much has already been accomplished this school year and how many people have contributed their time and efforts toward this goal! Thank you to everyone who has worked to make this mission such a success this year!

You can still join the Conant Boosters for this school year. Your $25 registration is a great way to support the students and our Conant community even if you have no time to give.

You can also support Boosters by buying gift cards for the holidays or eating at Buffalo Wild Wings. There is an exciting mattress event coming up in February with name- brand mattresses available for purchase. And the Spirit Store is now offering gift certificates online or in store, so your student can pick out their favorite Conant spirit wear item!

To find out more about what Boosters has to offer, continue reading this newsletter or visit our website at www.conantboosters.com. Consider attending the next Boosters meeting on Tuesday, December 18 at 7:00 in the Media Center.

Wishing you and your family a happy and safe Holiday Season!!!

Go Cougars!

Conant HS Boosters President
