PRE-GAME MEAL SERVICE - Our Hospitality Chairs oversee these responsibilities. Meal service volunteers make sure the band, Directors, and our fabulous PISD bus/truck drivers are served a meal before leaving for the game. Meals are ordered by the Hospitality Chairs from a local restaurant and need to be picked up by a volunteer and the Booster Treasurer (for payment) by approx 3:45pm. Hospitality Chairs, or a designated volunteer, does a Sam's Club run the week of the game for fruit/cookies/chips that will be served with the meal. Volunteers set up the serving line in the CHS cafeteria so that meal service may begin promptly at 4:30pm. Assist students as they go thru the line to understand what options they have to eat. Walk around while students are eating to remind them of their meal time and to clean up after themselves. Ensure Directors and bus/truck drivers are served their meal. Help clean up the cafeteria at the end of meal service. These responsibilities are usually complete by 5:30pm.

FOOTBALL GAME / MARCHING CONTEST CHAPERONES - Our VP's of Chaperones oversee these responsibilities. How about a front row seat to support the Clark Band and Colorguard!

One chaperone will be assigned to carry the basic first aid backpack.
