2 - Booster Club Membership & Information | |
|
We’ve got Churchill spirit, yes, we do! We’ve got Churchill spirit, how about you!?!
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.

Girls Varsity and JV Basketball - Strong on the Court!
The Girls Varsity Basketball Team is off to a strong start, achieving a 9 - 1 record in Montgomery County play thus far. Early season highlights include victories against both BCC and Wootton. The team traveled to Forest Park HS (Baltimore) to play some of the top competition in the state over the holiday break, and represented Churchill and Montgomery County extremely well. The team has garnered consistent Washington Post recognition in the DMV Top 20 poll.
The Bulldogs are led by Captains Chelsea Calkins and Dillan George who each scored their 500th career point in December. The Bulldogs have 7 seniors this season, and we would love to see you support them at Senior Night, on Friday, February 10th.
The Girls JV Basketball Team is also off to a great start this season, under the direction of Coach Stephen Burnett, in his first season coaching at Churchill, and Assistant Coach Bruce Lesley. Team Captains, Karen Haddad, Nusrat Hammond, and Daniela Pami, all returning sophomores, support the team with good sportsmanship and leadership. The team has had many incredible wins, but highlighting the team's true potential was against Richard Montgomery where the team came from behind to claim the win in a fourth quarter nail-biter, winning 43-40! Given any situation, the team does not let up, they push forward. Training hard and thinking sharp, the team is looking forward to an amazing rest of the season! Come out to support these athletes with 2 home games Tuesday and Friday this week. Tip offs at 5:30!
