The Parke Heritage Booster Club would like to extend an invitation to all NCP parents to join them in their efforts to assist teams and groups as well as students and staff.
The Booster Club has provided clubs and teams an opportunity to earn funding by working their concession stands, has made donations to school groups and has provided food for the Fall Athletic banquet, as well as other ways to support even the elementary schools.
As of January 14, the Booster Club has donated funding in these areas:

- worked with the Prom committee by providing use of the Covered Bridge Shack during Festival to raise money, where they made a profit of $6,536.86
- purchased the letters and chevrons for letter jackets, along with any special patches for sectional championships or WRC champions
In the future, the group hopes to sponsor scholarships. More information will come as details are finalized.
The group’s goal is to be transparent throughout the community so that parents can know just what the Booster Club does for all the schools. Parents at any NCP school are invited to join them at the monthly meetings which held the second Monday of each month.
