Lunenburg Public Schools Athletic Advisory Council Meeting Minutes 
Tuesday, November 6, 2018 
 
Members Present:  (MJ, do you have this list who was there?)  
 
Meeting called to order at 6:36PM by Chair. 
 
Minutes for October 2, 2018 were accepted as presented. 
Public comment: 
 None 
New Business: 
 Scheduling activities over vacation breaks - members present discussed whether this was an 
issue. Most believed students are aware of consequences of not participating, but further 
discussion moved to next month due to lack of quorum. 
Old Business: 
 Fundraising 
o Basketball booster club requested approval of fundraising event:  Cash calendar over 2 
weeks in December (10th-21st).  It is not mandatory for any student to participate in 
sales.  Each player is requested to sell 10 calendar spots at $10 each - if more are sold, 
there's a money-grab incentive. Family cap is to in place and funds will be used for 
banquet, awards, acknowledgements.  Winners will be notified by email. - Approved 
(quorum achieved at this point) 
 
 Concession Stand 
o Dr. Burnham shared current information about the concession stand and being able to 
use it. The group discussed making the kitchen like any other kitchen in the school and 
indicated in doing so, there would be a cost/rental fee and kitchen staff would have to 
be hired (assumed at $26/hour).  Boosters felt that reasonable and requested 
Superintendent proceed with gathering information. 
 
 Community Service 
o Currently looking at Sleep in Heavenly Peace.  This is an organization that helps build 
beds for children that do not have beds. 
 
 Admission Fees 
o It was mentioned that these fees are inconsistently collected, however group didn't feel 
it necessary to discuss further. 
Next meeting-  Tuesday, December 4, 2018 at 6:30PM 
Meeting adjourned at 7:43PM

5. We welcome student representative(s) each month to share their team 
experiences.  We value all student input, which guides our discussions.  
 ITEM # 1:  Hold Games/Practices during school vacations? 
1. Last season, games and practices were scheduled during vacations causing 
some issues particularly with families vacationing - their kiddos missed out on 
practices.  No students should be penalized for missing a practice on vacation…. 
or will that be our new policy? 
2. How can we handle this?  Our recommendations?  Important to recognize that 
spring season is shorter due to:  Prom, & graduation cutting into the season. 
3. Important to get coaches opinions.  Typically, JV teams more flexible to miss a 
game/ practice vs. varsity higher expectation to attend games & practices. 
Important to note : family emergencies take precedence over practices/games. 
4. Regardless of which vacation, (Xmas, Spring vaca), - the policy should be 
consistent and added to the LHS HANDBOOK. 
5. Need to research other local schools districts policies. *Important to note that 
when players choose to vacation, it impacts the whole team particularly if some 
players trying to earn sport scholarships.  
6. Coaches typically set the tone for attendance standard.  For ie. Varsity Hockey 
has practice on vaca but JV does not.  Parents need to know this info when 
planning expensive family vacations.  
 ITEM # 2:  Student Participation AAC representative  
How do we continue to entice different student athletes each month?  
ITEM # 3:   Concession Stand: 
1. Nadine/ John Londa waiting to hear from the Nashoba Board of Health to help us 
resolve the Snack Shack issue.  WE are simply trying to meet the basic 
requirements to allow us to open our door and seel alloted items from Board Of 
Health. 
2. Dr. Burnham - is aware of the situation and trying to amend this issue. 
3. Basketball concession will consist of pre-packaged foods or donated restaurant 
food 
ITEM # 4:   Service Opportunities for athletes: 
===PAGE 3===
1. BUILD A BED: proposed by Jean Proctor and Lynn Walsh.  Proposing to 
eventually start a Chapter in Lunenburg.  First step; participate in the Littleton 
Chapter and observe their 5 - 7 stations of “building a bed” work.  
2. Volunteering builds character for all students and should be required for 
graduation as other districts require this standard.  Proposing 10  hours a year for 
each 9th - 12th grader.  We need a large scale LHS volunteer calendar to 
organize events (volunteering at walking distance from LHS: senior center, teen 
center, library, Primary School or THES) and possibly offer a Team Volunteering 
Weekend for kids to attend. 
3. Another volunteering idea specifically for Winter sports: 
“ Blue Knights for Literacy .”  Indoor literacy/ fun games event.  Possibly choose 
weekend day in March, and LHS students volunteer their time hosting mini 
hockey, hoops, mini track hurdles, running events, etc.  Teens or young children 
can donate their old books - earning a book coupon for donating.  Have book 
drop off stations previous to this event.  
5. Future Topics:  
1. Retiring jersey numbers:  discussion and action 
2. Consolidating Blue Knight Logos 
3. Conversation about how to Consolidate Booster Clubs:  
a. Most important reason to consolidate is for 
CONSISTENCY and EQUALITY  amongst all teams  
b. (For ie. ALL seniors would receive sweatshirts/ jackets, framed photo of 
the athlete, wooden “shirt” with team autographs) 
c. Fundraising monies will be shared & will go towards one unified purpose; 
this will NOT hinder each individual sport. 
6. ADJOURNMENT   
● 7:54pm 
7.  Next Meeting:  Tuesday, January 15th, 2018 6:30PM
