Preparations are underway for the annual BOOST Bash. The BOOST committee is eagerly looking forward to the sixth event, to be held at Saturday, April 1, at the Greene County Fairgrounds.
The doors of Clover Hall will open at 5 pm with dinner to begin at 6:30 pm. Tables (seating eight people) can be purchased, or single tickets are also available. Similar to last year, single ticket buyers will seat themselves at the event.
This year’s meal will again be provided by Greene County students and the Ram Restaurant. Tables or individual tickets can be purchased now at www.boostgreenecountyschools.com.
Donations and sponsorships are also welcomed. Contact gcschoolsboost@gmail.com to discuss giving or directly mail checks to Greene County Schools BOOST / P.O. Box 4 / Jefferson, Iowa 50129.
BOOST stands for Bringing Optimism & Opportunities to Students & Teachers, and all proceeds from this event will directly impact students and teachers in the Greene County Community School District. The event includes a social, dinner, live and silent auctions, and recognition of the great things happening at GCCSD.
The five previous years have brought in a total of more than $300,000. This ongoing support from the community has created wonderful new opportunities for Greene County students and teachers. Examples of the funded projects include field trips, musical instruments, 3-D printers, microphones for the high school auditorium, playground equipment, virtual business simulations, equipment for nursing training, STEM materials, and videography equipment. A full list for the funding provided each year is available on the BOOST website.
Tickets and tables are limited, and previous events have sold out. Ticket sales end March 22.
“Thanks for your continued support. We can’t wait to see you on April 1,” a BOOST spokesperson said.
