||| FROM KATE LONG for ORCAS ISLAND BOOSTER CLUB |||
The Orcas Island Booster Club extends a heartfelt thank you to Drs Buxbaum, Fleming, and Russell for their most recent service at our Sports Physical Clinic on August 7. These generous doctors volunteered their time to ensure that students are ready for the upcoming sports seasons. Sports physicals are required every two years and while we encourage families to see their primary care physician, sometimes completing this paperwork is what keeps students from participating in sports. We are grateful to be able to offer this event annually and at no cost to families.
More than 60% of OIHS students participate in at least one sport. Again this year Boosters will collaborate with the Orcas Community Resource Center to provide financial support to families who struggle to pay for athletics. If you would like to donate to the OI Booster Club to help with these and other opportunities that support all student-athletes go to https://www.orcasboosters.
