The 2019 Granby Memorial High School Homecoming, sponsored by the GMHS Athletic Booster Club, is set to begin on Thursday, Oct. 24. Plans are underway so that students, families and the entire community will witness some of the most exciting competitions of the high school fall sports season. Fans will enjoy home games with the Girls Volleyball Team, Girls Field Hockey, Varsity Football and the Boys and Girls Soccer Teams. The current schedule for these events is listed below.
This year marks the 15th anniversary of an event that started as Soccer Under the Lights, where the boys and girls soccer teams played evening games under a bank of noisy rental lights. The Homecoming event has grown to include a pep rally, a multitude of athletic contests and a semi-formal school dance.
Admission will be charged on Thursday, Oct. 24, for Field Hockey and on Saturday, Oct. 26, for Boys and Girls Soccer. Adults will be charged $5, and students /senior citizens will be charged $3. All proceeds support the GMHS Athletic Booster Club. The booster club, along with the GMHS Football Booster Club will be on hand to sell a variety of snacks and dinner items so that you won’t miss a minute of the action. Additionally, the booster club provides an event program featuring photos of all our Granby Bears home teams.
The GMHS Athletic Booster Club supports, encourages and advances the high school athletic program. With funds raised through various events and generous community support, the club has purchased and donated the high school concession stand, a defibrillator for the trainer, the high school/middle school information sign, scoreboards for the soccer, softball, field hockey, lacrosse and basketball teams, a golf cart, track pole vault mats and most recently seating for athletes competing in the high school’s upstairs gymnasium.
If you would like to make a donation to the GMHS Booster Club, or if your business would like to support the booster club as a sponsor, please contact info@gmhsboosters.com for additional information. Thank you for your support and Go Bears!
