The Cookie Sign-up Edition

Fall Sports Awards

The Fremd Viking Booster Club is proud of all our student-athletes and want to remind you of the upcoming Fall Sports Awards Night, Tuesday, November 15th 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.  

We have many student-athletes this fall and we will need well over 100 dozen cookies to have enough for the kids and their families.
