The North Judson-San Pierre School Corporation is in the process of developing an athletic booster club, according to Superintendent Lynn Johnson. She said Athletic Director Rob Vessely spoke to the board and explained that the effort is currently in the beginning stages and will start with football season as they endeavor to get more people involved in supporting school athletics.

As of right now, Johnson explained, the corporation has a football parents club but no athletic booster club to cover all of the sports, so they’re starting slow with focusing the athletic booster club on football. Johnson said the club will likely be doing some decorating at the field and different forms of financial support for the teams, and they’re trying to build the club up to support the other sports as well.

Johnson said the club will likely raise funds through selling spirit apparel for the time being, and she said the club will grow as time goes on, but it’s currently a work in progress.
