Athletic Director’s Report from Jim

• Sport Record Boards:  LeAnne updates at the end of each school year.  Record board in the pool area for Girls/Boys Swimming has been changed a lot over the past few years, and the expense has come out of the managed account.  (All other boards in the main gym area are funded by the Booster Club).  Swim coaches asking if we will fund to update pool record board.  Approved
• Vinyl banners/signs from paid sponsors to hang in the Apple Bowl.  Approved by Brian Flones.  We need to create specifications/details and sell to local businesses.  Portion of proceeds raised by these advertisements will be used to fund uniforms for ALL sports.   Calendars, Programs. Banners… some kind of sponsor/advertising package?
• Boys/Girls Basketball games against Eastmont (@EHS) on December 19:  Freshmen and C teams play on Thursday, December 17th at 5:45pm and 7:30pm in both the Main & Auxiliary gyms; JV & Varsity will play on Saturday, December 19th in the Main gym only starting at 2:15pm.
• Alumni basketball game fundraiser (Eastmont versus Wenatchee) idea floated by Fona; best time to host would be during Christmas Break.  Probably too late to get it organized/scheduled this year.
• Localtel on Channel 12:  we had contract with them for football games.  They were at bowling match on Tuesday, and they would like to air basketball games as well.  We are currently under contract with KOHO for game broadcasts, so to honor that contract, Localtel will do the video with KOHO audio.
• Unified sports:  soccer in the fall and basketball currently.  Partner special needs students with regular education students to participate in sports.  Competitions against other Unified teams (Moses Lake, Eastmont, Quincy, Othello, etc.)  Schedule coming.
• 5-6 girls currently members of the WHS wrestling team; looking for a female coach to oversee locker room/showers.
• Athletic Department Handbook getting updated:  vaping, academics, etc.
• WHS bond proposals as described by the Wenatchee World; want to utilize matching funds from the state, and that can happen only by utilizing the existing buildings footprint.  Six options presented.

Concessions Report from Eric & Siobhan
