As the high School athletes are about to begin the 2026/2027 sports seasons, our Monticello Sports Boosters Club is looking forward to the school year and hoping to continue growing our organization! At our September 14th meeting in the school Library at 6:15 PM, we will hold our yearly elections and will have the following board positions that will be filled:
*President
*Vice President
*Secretary
*Treasurers
The Monticello Sports Booster Club is an organization of parents and community members who support the athletic programs of the Monticello School District. The purpose of the club is to raise funds to offer financial support that may not be available to our athletic programs and sports related projects in our High School that help our athletes excel with training and play.
To name just some of the many highlights of donations from the Sports Boosters over the years:
-$1200 per year for Senior Scholarships
- Uniforms and helmets for our football team
- New golf bags, wiffle balls and practice mats for our golf team
-$15,000 for a new scoreboard and championship sign at the updated softball field
- Materials for new Baseball dugouts
- Dr. Dish Basketball shooting machines for both teams
- Locking basketball racks and new basketballs for the Girls and Boys basketball teams
- High jump mat and starting blocks for our track team
- Contribution towards uniforms and new balls, helmets and equipment for girls Softball team
- New volleyball nets for our Volleyball team
- AU weight training program for summer skills building
- Hudl game recording, broadcasting and analysis program
- Sports Calendar posters
- State tournament travel support
- Yearly contributions to each of our sports programs
In order to keep this great organization going and continued funding support, we need new members to join! Most of our current members no longer have children in sports or in high school and need new members to eventually pass the torch onto.
The Monticello Sports Boosters are looking for enthusiastic family or community members to get involved and help lead our organization!
No experience required, Just a willingness to help the sports programs.
Usual meeting dates are the 3rd Monday of each month at 6:15 PM at the school, but does adjust occasionally based off of school sporting and life events.
Please Join us in making a lasting, positive impact!

😀Again this year we would like to make and display posters of all of our senior athletes. Each athlete will represent all of their sports on their own individual 2'x4' poster. The total cost of the poster is $66, however the Booster Club has agreed to cover $30 per senior. Last year, Monticello Works paid for the remaining cost of the posters so they could be printed at no cost to the athlete. We are approaching them to see if they will do the same this year. Seniors should decide now what sports they plan on being involved in because we would like the posters displayed for the full school year in the gym and football field. This will likely be the only opportunity for the senior to get his/her poster made. Should an athlete get a poster made and choose to not participate in any sport, we would ask that they refund the cost back to the respective organizations. At the end of the school year, the posters will be the property of the senior to keep.
📸A photo shoot day is set next week Thursday, AUGUST 27 at 2:00 pm in the Elmer Lemon Gym. Athletes should sign up on the linked Doc to indicate they plan on having a poster made. Attached are the three possible designs that the class can pick from. Please indicate your vote on the sign-up form. The design with the most votes will be used for the entire set of posters. Information and sign-up can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rExrCqVaPQFJuTXSjH1ZhhyKXcEcBaMBU3U0CU3QqaY/edit?usp=sharing
👉If you are unable to come to the photo shoot day, please schedule a time for Renee to take your photo before 8/27. She can be reached at (608) 426-4468 or (608) 325-2050. For the photo shoot the senior should wear jeans and a jersey of their choice (the picture will mostly be waist up). They should plan on bringing something to the photo shoot to represent each sport they plan on participating in. For example, an athlete might wear their volleyball jersey, hang softball spikes over their shoulder, and carry a basketball.
While getting a poster made is not mandatory, we think this is a great compliment to our gym space and football field and a great opportunity to reward our senior athletes. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Coach Olson.
