A couple excellent upcoming events!
Hello archery family! 👋
The end of the fall raffle is approaching fast. We appreciate everyone who has participated!
On November 3rd at 6 pm in the archery building, we will have our first parents meeting. As most of you know, we don't have seating for everyone so please bring a chair unless you would like to stand. At that time, we ask that all remaining raffle tickets be turned in. We will need ALL SOLD AND UNSOLD tickets to be returned. Also, ALL MONEY is due with the tickets.
We are also aware that some people may have not signed up for this season. You may also know of other parents interested in signing up their kids. This meeting will be our LAST sign-up of the season. The club dues are required at the time of sign-up and are $40 this year.
As always parent involvement is super important for club and archer success. So if you are able we would love to have a full house for this parents' meeting. All by-laws, rules, practice times, and available tournament information will be given at this meeting. Parent meetings help ensure that parents and coaches have an open dialog and help everyone stay on the same page.
We hope to see everyone there! Have your questions/concerns ready! With parents and coaches on the same page with amazing communication, our Eagles are sure to soar!!! 🦅🎯🏹
We would like to congratulate our 7th and 8th grade volleyball teams on their undefeated seasons this year! Both 7th grade and 8th grade teams finished the regular season with a 20-0 record! Congratulations Girls!

We hope everyone had a good summer and start of the 23/24 school year!! As a club, we're excited to have started sign-ups and are eager to get back to practice to see what our season has in store for us.
We realize that some people don't fully understand what archery does for our students. Archery is the longest-running sport in school that runs from November (when we start practice) to May. So dedication by the parents, kids, and of course coaches is something to appreciate. As a program, we can provide kids with the equipment needed to participate so no additional cost is expected past the club dues ($40). We have an amazing group of students and are excited every year when new kids decide to give archery a try.
Just like other programs, we do some fundraising to ensure the kids have a successful season. Our fundraising opportunities cover fees for tournaments and new equipment to assure the safety of our archers.
In the fall we partner with an amazing sponsor (Baum Lumber) to provide raffle prizes to help with the cost of equipment to keep the program running smoothly. Now through November 8th (drawing held on November 15th), each archer is selling raffle tickets for some amazing prizes the hunter in your life would appreciate.
We have
Millennium L-110 21' single stand
Pelican 30 quart Elite Cooler
Delta McKenzie 3D target
Wicked Ridge M-370 with Acudraw crossbow
Feedbank 600 Feeder
All proceeds support our archers this upcoming season. If anyone would like to help support these kids please contact an archery club member, parent, coach, or our coordinator Jezare' Brooks. Each ticket is $10 with 5 chances to win per ticket.
Also if your child has any questions or shows interest in becoming an archer we are still doing sign-ups. You can contact a parent or coach for more information on times of signups. Or as always contact our coordinator.
Thank you to everyone who supports us as we approach this next season!
