WELCOME! 

The Farmington View Bobcat Booster Club is a group of parents, teachers, and staff who are dedicated to activities that will enhance the overall educational experience for students of Farmington View Elementary School. The group will work toward providing opportunities to assist in our children’s education, as well as creating a sense of community for families and students of the school. The Bobcat Booster Club works with and supports the objectives of the Hillsboro School District.

What happens at Bobcat Booster meetings?

We discuss the upcoming events, plan future activities, and discuss how to provide enrichment opportunities for students with the money from our fundraising efforts. We greatly appreciate everyone’s input and value all opinions.

How do fundraisers benefit our students?

They provide many valuable “extra” activities and enrichment opportunities for our students. 

Last year, Booster funds were used for after school programs, an AmeriCorps member, Accelerated Reader Program, enrichment programs and assemblies, teacher grants, and much more. 

In the past, Booster funds have been spent on computers, field trips, library books, PE and playground equipment, TVs and VCRs, sixth grade graduation party, and have funded many other projects. This year Boosters plan to help support the sixth grade Outdoor Science School. 

Suggestions are always welcome. Everyone works hard to earn the money and the children are always the beneficiaries. 

Who decides how the Bobcat Booster funds are spent?

The fundraising activities from this year will determine our budget for next year. We only spend money that has been raised or carried over from the previous year. We try to generate about $20,000 per year, on average, to continue the strong support we’ve been able to provide for our school. Budget and financial statements are shared at each meeting to keep everyone informed. Every year the budget is developed and presented to members at a Bobcat Booster meeting. The membership approves how the money is budgeted and spent.
