HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT
THE BOSTON LATIN SCHOOL VARSITY CLUB

Athletics at Latin School had more than 500 male and female participants in 2003-2004 - one of the largest co-curricula activities at BLS.

Since it's founding in 1985, the Varsity Club has asked for an annual commitment of $125 as a "Teammate" or $250 as a "Champion" - funds that can help pay for a new helmet, an all-state jacket or the cost of a round-trip bus to a Dual County League event.

Boston Latin and Bedford High are the only schools in the eight-member Dual County League not to assess its student-athletes a per-sport activity fee. In fact, the Boston Public Schools have never charged a user fee for any of its students, and your membership in the Varsity Club helps to level the playing field when BLS competes against the DCL's other suburban schools who do assess such fees while strengthening Latin's overall athletics program.

Our 2004-05 goal is to have 1,000 members of the BLS Varsity Club - please support a BLS student-athlete and continue a tradition of excellence.
