On behalf of the Telstar All Sports Boosters I am reaching out. We recently took on the Football Boosters/Snack Shack. Our community is very excited to have Football again and we want to support it anyway we can. That being said, we need volunteers. We need volunteers to donate food and time to run our snack shack during games. This season the high school only has 3 home games. The snack shack in the past has made hand-cut fries, burgers, hot dogs, grilled cheese, crock pot items, baked goods and beverages. We need people to set up/cook/take down from about an hour before games until the game ends. We recommend working in 1-2 hour shifts. Many families and community members come to our games and are there for 3-4 hours. Offering food is a must, however we cannot offer food if we do not have the volunteers to help.
Keep in mind all money we make goes back to the students and athletes. In the past we have been able to purchase batting nets, water bubblers around the school, provide lunches for away games, donate money towards uniforms, give t-shirts for Athletes of the Month and we also put on a Sport Banquet for Senior Athletes each year as well as plaques for athletes.
There is a home football game this Saturday the 11th. We are looking for volunteers/donations for our limited menu until we get more volunteers.
Please let me know if you can donate an item or your time. You can email me at fraserk21@sad44.org
Thank you,
Koral Fraser

Sorry for the confusion yesterday! Yesterday was the first time SAD44 used our new Alert system and found that the alerts went to every single emergency contact listed for each student. We are working to refine our contact list and to be more nuanced with who we reach out to with alerts. Again, sorry for the inconvenience and your patience as we improve our service to you…

From WHAT TV:
So I noticed some very brief (but annoying) interruptions in the live stream Thursday night, this interruption did NOT occur on our Youtube Broadcast.
Only our TV broadcast and associated livestream page were affected, I think because there are additional steps in the signal chain. This does not by any means make those broadcasts unwatchable, but to be safe I wanted to make clear that as far as today goes
Our YOUTUBE CHANNEL WILL HAVE THE BEST QUALITY STREAM
Again we will be broadcasting to spectrum 11 and our livestream page,
but I think YOUTUBE will look the best.
Hope this is helpful.
