3. Mission Statement
“The Inglemoor High School Viking Gridiron Booster Club is the official Booster Club for the IHS Football program. We are a group of parents which exists to positively support, promote, and enhance the experience of Viking Football, its student-athletes, coaches, and families. “The Gridiron Booster Club works to achieve this through the inclusion of all football families as Booster members; strengthening participation with the IHS student body, administration and faculty; working hand-in-hand with the junior football league to help build the future identity of IHS Football; and establishing financial and service partnerships within the local community. We accomplish this through fund-raising, securing sponsorships and donations, and volunteering our time in order to reduce expenses and create community awareness. “Our goal is to foster goodwill, sportsmanship, and fraternal spirit among all members; engage the Viking Community in support of the football program; and build a sense of pride in being a part of Viking Football.”
