Booster Club News

2009-03-10T12:32:00.002-07:00

The Floyd Booster Club would like to thank all the wonderful people from our fine community who stepped up and helped out during the EPAC games. From the responses of the coaches, officials, and workers, the hospitality room was the best in many, many years. There was ample food, the atmosphere was friendly and the organization of the room and meals was outstanding! Entrance into the gym and service at the concession stand was notably admired by all in attendance. There was definitely an aura of pride in the halls of the Floyd Schools. Thank you!

The 1st Annual Floyd Fourth of July celebration was a huge success! About 200 or so folks from the community and school enjoyed hamburgers and hot dogs cooked by the Fire Department and homemade ice cream made by the Culpeppers from the Children’s Home. After everyone was stuffed, there was fun and games at the school’s football field for everyone, including stick horse races, sack races, and a dunking booth. All the children enjoyed some sparkler fun and everyone enjoyed an impressive fireworks display. The evening closed out with a dance in the fire station, with music Djed by Jeff Essary. Special thanks to the Village of Floyd for their generous financial contributions for this community event.
