Hello Grizzly families and staff,
My name is Heather Cole, and I am excited and honored to step into the role of the 5-Star Boosters/PTO President for the 2025-2026 school year. Together, we have the unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact on our school community, not just for our children, but for the teachers and staff who work tirelessly to nurture and educate them.
The work of the Boosters/PTO extends far beyond fundraising—it’s about fostering a strong partnership between parents, teachers, and administrators. Every event, every volunteer hour, and every dollar raised helps create an enriching environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
We all play a role in shaping the high school experience, and I truly believe the support we provide today has lasting effects on the future of our students. Whether you’re volunteering at an event, helping with classroom resources, or simply offering your time and ideas, your contributions make a world of difference.
Below are some of the projects we’ve funded and events we’ve put together last year:
- $11,000 in Senior Scholarships for the Class of 2025
- $13,760 to Athletics and $3,440 to Fine Arts from the sale of our Extracurricular Pass
- $948 in Teacher Incentive gift cards and reimbursements
- $4,500 for calculators for the Math Department
- $650 for a new STEM computer
- $212 for Eggs and Incubators for the Science Department
- $975 for Santa Wrap
- $2,000 toward a We the People competition
- $1,620 for new goals for the Soccer Program
- $5,000 toward a Clawbotics Program competition
- $5,000 for a new traveling sound system for Band
- Monthly Teacher Appreciation events
- Monthly Senior Activities events

If you have any questions or would like to volunteer, please email me at admin@ghs5starboosters.org.
I look forward to working alongside all of you to make this year one of collaboration, support, and success. Go Grizz!
With Gratitude,
Heather Cole
