Just so you know, they don't do hop-a-thons, hula-fests, or bake sales. Last year BHS had to have uniforms for almost 80 kids! That's a lot of boys who are out practicing after school, working to maintian grades and taking pride in their school instead of running around after school and getting into mischief! No one is out asking for money, they are holding a parents night where for a small amount of money parents can go and socialize with friends and family, have a great night out, and support their students and community at the same time. So as a proud Ballardite~GO BEAVERS!!!

So all the hop-a-thons, hula-fests, bake sales, etc, etc STILL aren't “enough” huh? And the children will be held as hostages, again? Why not, while giving teachers pink slips, let a room full of bureaucrats go instead of treating the rest of us like this? Much like closing a DMV office, they take away a rattle and tell us to keep quiet, while they never “sacrifice”. How many kids does a room full of paper pushers feed/educate? TIme to re-think how we do this “educating” thingee.

Too bad that the football teams gets a large quantity of money from the Boosters… Other sports are in worse conditions than them…

I thought the same thing at first, but quality sports gear is pretty expensive.
I'm guessing this is just for pants and shirts, maybe socks.

I think the freshman team should get dibs if they don't raise all the cash.
playing in a 'worn-out' jersey is much worse than one that 'doesn't match'

I could just imagine the opponent's cheerleaders:
"HA-Ha--Beavers are wearing stripes AND polka dots--LET'S CRUSH EM"

too bad it isn't earlier….. drinking wine and watching soccer are two of my fav past times. with the sounders match that night, this conflicts with the latter

umm – unless you want them running out on the field in just jerseys I think there may be more to the uniform. Now, I'm not saying it wouldn't be interesting and maybe get some national press even.

How many jerseys are they purchasing? Is the money for other things as well or just jerseys? $10k seems like a lot (100 jerseys at $100/each?)
