Interested in being part of the new era of Arp ISD Tiger athletics?
If you volunteer a little of your time this school year, it would go a long ways towards helping the experience of all our student-athletes.
Arp Athletic Boosters are responsible for running the visitor concession stand for the home football games for JH, JV and Varsity. We will be doing Sign up genius again this year and if we have enough parents and players that if we have enough volunteers then they should only have to do it once during the season. But typically we have some of the same parents over and over again. They will be able to sign up for the first two quarters including half time or half time and the last two quarters.
We will be sending information for volleyball and football shirts that can be ordered also within the next couple of weeks.
Also we will be doing a fundraiser that will start on Aug. 2 and will run for about 3-4 weeks. We will send more information on that once we have everything finalized. The company that is handling the fundraiser will be there talking to the athletes and coaches on Aug. 2.
Here are booster club people that we are in need of to help make the year a success:
A. Football parent to help organize meals for teams before games
B. Volleyball parent to help organize meals for teams
C. Parents to help organize BBQ cookoff/silent auction fundraiser
If you are interested in helping, please contact Amy Alibrando, Athletic Booster Club president at amyalibrando@hotmail.com
If any parents know of any companies interested in being a sponsor for our athletic programs have them contact Amy, and she will send them a sponsorship letter or they can send me the contact info and she will send out the letter.

ON THE NATIONAL STAGE: How about soon to be junior Zach Garrett!
Representing the Arp Clay Shooting team at the SCTP National Tournament in Marengo, OH this past week, Garrett finished 17th in Sporting Clays, and 54th Overall out of 570 Varsity competitors.
