P.S. I'm also looking for new members for Black Student Union. Let me know if you're interested!

The Monarch Baseball team will be hosting their annual fundraiser in September. This is a great way to begin to get involved at Mohi, have fun, and possibly walk away with a prize!

Who Are We?

We're not just any parent group – we're the heart and soul of student support at Monarch High!

What makes us unique? We're the only parent volunteer organization at Monarch High, stepping in where there's no PTO or PTA. Our mantra is simple yet powerful: WE SUPPORT STUDENTS!

From Aviation Club to Choir to Soccer, we've got ALL students covered. With over 85% of Monarch students engaged in after-school activities, we're here to fan the flames of every student's passion. Whether your student is hitting high notes in the choir, coding the next big app, or scoring goals on the field, we're here to cheer them on and provide the support they need to excel.

In essence, we're the wind beneath the wings of Monarch's diverse and talented student body. Our goal? To ensure that every student has the resources and support they need to pursue their interests, develop their skills, and shine bright in their chosen activities.

What Do We Do?

1. Bridge the Budget Gap: We're the financial superheroes for Monarch's clubs and activities! Last year, we granted over $36,000 to fill the space between budgets and actual needs. Think essential gear like tents/radios for the Mountain Bike Club, cutting-edge cameras for our budding journalists in Newspaper Club, and even pole vaults for our high-flying Track stars. When school budgets fall short, we leap into action!
   
2. Shower Seniors with Scholarships: $10,000 in scholarships last year – that's 10 lucky seniors getting a $1,000 boost!
3. Host Epic Tailgates: Buy a t-shirt, and you're in for a year of food, fun, and fantastic company!
4. Run 'The Cave': Your one-stop shop for Monarch spirit wear and game-day snacks.
5. Shout Student Success: We're the proud parent voice in newsletters and social media, celebrating every achievement.
6. Throw the Bash of the Year: Our annual Booster Bash is the talk of the town – cocktails, dinner, dancing, and auctions galore!

Your Membership Matters: For just $40 per family per year (REGARDLESS of # of activities or students), you're fueling student passions across the board. In order for your student's activity to be eligible to apply for a grant, 30% of their roster needs to be a Booster Club Member.

Business Owners, Listen Up: Sponsor us, and we'll plaster your logo from field to gym, to newsletter to social. It's tax-deductible advertising that directly supports our students!

Volunteers Needed: Whether you're a Cave dweller, a bash planner, or a parent rep, we've got a spot for you.

Remember, over 85% of Monarch students are involved in after-school activities. Your support ensures that every student can pursue their passion, whether it's on the field, on stage, or in the lab.

Join the Monarch Booster Club today – because when we support our students, the sky's the limit!
