The following Mission Statement was presented by Troy Tomlinson.  This is open for changes: The Champlin Park Rebels Boys Hoops Booster Club is an action-oriented group of parents, volunteers and administrators (school personnel) working together to support the Rebels boys basketball teams through financial support and volunteerism.

           

As represented in the C P Rebels Hoops Booster Club by-laws, we have three goals to start and are open to adding more now, or later.  Each goal was opened up to everyone for ideas and there were plenty!!!  The goals and ideas will be documented separately and brought to the next meeting to be prioritized.  New ideas are welcome.

The Rebels Hoops Booster Club will assist in the establishment of direct lines of communication between the school and the community, particularly between coaches and parents.
