RBR Booster Club

Welcome

What is the Booster Club?

The Booster Club is just like a PTO. Parents volunteer in various ways to support all students and staff at RBR. We help the high school financially as well as physically, providing time and money to a host of projects each year, (see Funded Projects). Some parents "join" by purchasing a Booster Club card for $10, which provides discounts to Visual and Performing Arts programs and free admission to 3 sporting events. Other parents just come to meetings and get involved (and informed). All parents/caregivers and any new ideas are always welcome! Contrary to rumors, the Booster Club is not limited to supporting athletics.
