Banquets
I am a senior parent for the varsity boys soccer team. I understand that the senior parents help organize the end of the season banquet. What do I need to do?
Generally, each year the senior parents organize an end of the season banquet for the respective sport in which their son or daughter participates. Banquets in the past have been held in the high school cafeteria, SWTech Atrium, Middle School cafeteria, Elks Club, Moose Club, and other establishments.
Many teams have gone to pot-luck dinners to avoid the need for selling tickets or collecting money. Others have gone to just having parents bring deserts and beverages. All three teams (Varsity, JV and Freshmen) of each sport are usually honored at these banquets.

Each head coach has an activity account from fund-raising money. If you wish to tap into some of this money to offset banquet expenses (decorations, etc.), make sure to contact the coach ahead of time to find out how much money is available. They are the only ones who can access money from these accounts.
