PARENTS: Donate to renovate the MIHS Fitness Center
"If you build it, they will come." Kevin Costner from Field of Dreams
Thank you for your interest in the exciting MIHS Fitness Center Renovation Project! Currently, the only on-campus, training space available to the student body is an outdated weight and wrestling room which are in dire need of renovation. The rooms lack cardio machines, functional training equipment and space, and are drab and unmotivating.
Our community has the opportunity to create a WELCOMING, ALL-INCLUSIVE, state-of-the-art Fitness Center (click to see video) that will support ALL students – from those who are "just" earning PE credits to State-caliber athletes...and everybody in between.
Mercer Island students, athletes, coaches, booster clubs, alumni and the residents are partnering to fundraise this project. When complete, ALL MIHS students will have a safe, effective space to work on their strength, conditioning and fitness goals and enable the school to increase its P.E. offerings, encouraging lifelong fitness. The MIHS Fitness Center is an investment in the future of our island and the health of our community.
This summer, the new flooring (which was already planned and funded with the MISD Capital Levy), has been replaced with durable rubberized fitness flooring. Now our community needs to collect the additional $150K to pay for the new equipment and enhanced space. To date, $70K has already been committed by some amazing local doners and booster clubs.
PLEASE join this effort and DONATE TODAY! No donation is too small! 100% of all tax-deductible donations go directly towards locally-design MIHS Fitness Center! And don't forget to ask your company to match!
JOIN THE BOOSTER CLUB!
...FOR NEW EQUIPMENT AND MI FOOTBALL SWAG FOR YOUR FAMILY!
70% of your fellow football Islanders donate to the football program. Please join them and support the kids and their quest for greatness.
Donations will go towards new helmets, shoulder pads and jerseys for all ages...and more.
A note from the coach
Coach Mims: "I coach because I am passionate about the game of football and because I enjoy pouring wisdom and knowledge into our youth. Coaching isn't a hobby for me, it is more of a lifestyle. I put everything I have into building a successful program, developing student athletes, Creating job opportunities for my coaches/peers, and making this a fun environment for the kids. "
"Success Isn't owned, it's leased and rent is due everyday" #ALLIN
