Join us for the party of the year! Attendees can bid on silent auction items, step up to the BUY IT NOW wall, enjoy appetizers, open bar, participate in the “50/50 raffle” and mingle in good company. Parents and coaches will gather for a night of fundraising and celebration of the Churchill athletics department.
The doors open at 7 pm. What is "Party Casual"? For women this would be a favorite pair of jeans with a sweater or blouse and comfortable heels or boots. If you have a dress, you were looking for the perfect occasion to wear, this is it! For the guys, jeans, khakis, golf shirt or button down. We want you to be comfortable and casual. The Core at Tower Oaks is the perfect place to celebrate with multiple rooms and an outdoor space if weather permits.

Booster Club Membership - Join Now!
BE A PART OF THE TEAM BEHIND THE TEAM!
Thank you to all our families who have joined the Booster Club already this year and who have stepped up to volunteer to drive JV carpools, work concessions, and attend meets, games, and matches wearing your Bulldog spirit wear (available through our School Store online!). You are what makes Churchill athletics amazing. If you haven't joined yet, it's not too late!
Why join? Whether your student is an athlete, a fan, or participates in PE, the Booster Club helps make the experience safer, more competitive, and more fun by providing important resources and support!
What is the Booster Club? The Booster Club works with the Athletic Department to ensure that our athletes have the necessary equipment and facilities to compete safely and at the highest possible level each year. The county provides Churchill with only a fraction of what it takes to support our sports teams. In a typical year, the athletics budget spent per athlete (per roster spot) at Churchill is around $220, yet the County’s contribution is less than $80. The Booster Club plays a critical role in providing supplemental resources to help offset this shortfall.
Can’t remember if you joined this year? Several more teams are getting close to 100% membership! Will it be your team? If you can’t remember if you joined the Booster Club already this year, ask your Team Booster Rep or send an email to our Membership Chair, Claire Drummond and she’ll check for you! Help your team earn 10% of it’s membership dollars and $300 for 100% team membership!
Your annual membership in the Booster Club will provide our student athletes and teams with these resources.

3 - The School Store is Open! | |
 | |
STUDENTS/STAFF: Have you visited the School Store recently? The school store is stocked with lots of new Churchill Clothes in all sizes (S - 5XL). We have some new items - UA boys shorts, girls running shorts, hoodies and Under Armor Shirts! Remember: Churchill teachers and staff get 20% off using cash or checks. If we can get parents to sign up to volunteer to work, we strive to be open every Tuesday and Thursday during lunch.
PARENTS: We NEED YOU! We are looking for parents to sign up for 1-hour time slots in the school store on Tuesdays and Thursdays so we can open for the kids during lunch from 11:00 - 12:00 pm. We cannot open for the kids without parent volunteers. This is the perfect way to volunteer at the school if you only have an hour to spare while the kids are IN school! It is also fun to meet the kids, help support the Booster Club, and see all the cool clothes. No experience is necessary! Grab a friend and do it together!
We’re also looking for a School Store Manager to help more regularly in the Store, train new volunteers, help design and order new spiritwear. Again, no experience necessary for this role either so if any of this sounds interesting, please contact Tamara Greenspan or Bridget Calhoun to learn more!

The Booster Club’s Indoor Concession Stand is open during home basketball games and select wrestling and volleyball matches, serving Potomac Pizza, all-beef hot dogs, nachos, candy, chips, soft drinks, and more!
Remember to bring small bills or spend at least $5 to use Apple/Google Pay or credit/debit cards. Most items cost $3 or less.
Any parents interested in volunteering in the concession stand, please email Alison Moylan, Jake Lynn or Bridget Calhoun! It’s a great way to meet other Bulldog parent volunteers and be a part of a valuable game day tradition at Churchill! No Bulldog athlete or experience necessary to volunteer!
