Friday the 13th Edition

Spring Sports Award

The Fremd Viking Booster Club is proud of all our student-athletes and want to remind you of the upcoming Spring Sports Awards Night, Wednesday May 25th at 7pm in the main gym. As with every Sports Awards, the Booster Club is organizing the cookie/snack drive.  Please consider signing up to bring in cookies for a post event snack.  You can drop them off at the tables in the main hallway on your way into the ceremony.  

With over 700 student-athletes this spring, we will need well over 100 dozen cookies to have enough for the kids and their families.
