We don't have a 'parent-booster club' per say, but parents do a lot on our team. We have at least 5 engineering mentors who were/are parents of students on the team.
Aside from that, parents do a lot in the non-engineering aspect of the team. A few examples are:
- Several parents over the past several years have been major parts in organizing fundraisers
- When we have our pancake breakfast fundraiser, 4-5 parents volunteer to help organize and host the event
- In 2010, when one of our students joined the team, his dad took A LOT of pictures of the team. Now, he is our 'unofficial photographer' (affectionately dubbed our 'SparX Stalker'). He still takes pictures at many of our major events.
- Parents provide transportation to groups of student for events such as our annual community service day
- Several parents who are business owners have becomes sponsors of the team.
PM me if you want to talk more about it. These are just a few things that come off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more specific stories I could come up with.
