1. Senior Portraits
These were scheduled for the first week in July and should have already been taken.
When you receive your proofs please follow the directions on the forms to select (in a
timely fashion) the photo that will appear in the yearbook’s senior portraits section. If
you do not make a selection/or submit your selection right away, the studio selects one
for you and this cannot be changed.
If you wish to retake these portraits please contact the studio directly to schedule a
time. When the studio returns in the Fall priority is given to those who could not make
their appointment; therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that there will be time for
retakes.
If you could not make your scheduled appointment there will be a 1-time opportunity to
have it taken at the high school in the Fall (date TBD and will be announced in
September). If you would like to take it beforehand to ensure that it will appear in the
yearbook please contact Lors Studio.

BIG BLUE BOOSTER CLUB The Team Behind the Team and Clubs
August, 2013
Dear Parents and Guardians:
For more than sixty-five years the Manasquan High School Big Blue Booster Club has
been engaged in developing fundraising activities and programs designed to promote
Manasquan High School and the students engaged in sports and extracurricular activities.
The Booster Club is focused on our mission of being the “team behind the teams and
clubs” at MHS.
I am proud to report that the overwhelming success of our re-organized Booster Club,
due to enhanced membership and well received fundraisers enabled us to award seven (7)
scholarships at the end of the 2013 school year. In addition to our scholarships, each year
we are developing, publishing and selling MHS Sports Programs, conducting 50/50
raffles, hosting the seasonal Big Blue Boosters Awards Nights, purchasing and updating
banners for the gymnasium, updating the many athletic plaques and trophies within our
school, as well as providing team championship plaques for each player. As always, we
can’t do any of these things without your continued support and involvement.
Please join our membership by completing the form on the reverse side of this letter. We
welcome new members and event volunteers to join The Team Behind the Team and
Clubs and make the Big Blue Booster Club more successful than ever. The Big Blue
Booster Club will first meet Wednesday, September 11, 2013 in room 120 at 7:00 p.m.
Monthly meetings are normally scheduled on the second (2nd
) Wednesday of every
month.
On behalf of the Boosters, thank you for your continued support. With your membership
and involvement we will continue to be able to bring even more things forward to help
promote our great school and celebrate and recognize our multi-talented students.
