What and incredible turnout for our very first Welcome Back Booster BBQ!
Thank You, ISB Community!
We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who came out, participated, volunteered, and supported the event. We welcomed approximately 200 walk-in guests in addition to our 200 pre-registered guests, making the event much larger than we had anticipated!
As with any first-time event, there were a few hiccups along the way, and we sincerely appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding, particularly with long lines. We are already thinking about how we can make next year’s BBQ even smoother and better for our community.
We also want to recognize the incredible people who made the event possible. The Booster Club is entirely volunteer-led, and we are so grateful to all of the parents and community members who gave their time, energy, and hard work to make the day happen. A special thank you also goes to the ISB staff members who stayed after the event to help with pack-up and cleanup. Your support means so much to us!
Your Support Makes a Difference
Every purchase you make and every bit of support you give to the Booster Club goes directly back to supporting ISB students and our athletics and arts programs.
Over the years, Booster support has helped fund things including:
-
Boston Brass performances
-
Athletic scoreboards
-
Shade tents for our athletes and community
-
Panther statue
-
Student scholarships
-
IASAS travel bags for our traveling athletes and artists
And this year, we are excited to support our Athletes and Artists with travel shirts to help represent ISB as they compete and perform around the region.
So when you support a Booster event, you’re not just buying a meal, playing a game, or attending an event — you are helping provide opportunities and resources for our students.
Thank you for supporting the Booster Club and, most importantly, for supporting our students.
We would love to have even more of you join us behind the scenes! The Booster Club is always looking for volunteers, whether you can help at an event, contribute an idea, or simply lend a hand when needed.
We look forward to seeing you at the next one — and to making next year’s Welcome Back BBQ even better!
Thank you, ISB, for your incredible support!
Panther Pride!
