Boosters Trivia Fun! 

• Is it true that Boosters is the prime fundraising organization for the school?
• A: Yes! Boosters funds ALL extracurricular activities not only Athletics but Clubs, Music & Drama and much more.   If your student has ever sat on a bench, filled their water bottle up at a drinking fountain, looked at the electric sign in front of school, listened to the band or assembly speakers, played ping pong in the commons or participated in any clubs or teams, then they have enjoyed things that Boosters funds to make MRHS so extraordinary.
