Greetings
Hello, I am happy to introduce myself as the new board president. My name is Katiuska and my dancer is Graciela who will be a senior next year. I also have a younger daughter who will be a freshmen next year. They both keep me quite busy and I work as an elementary school principal in Arlington ISD. My Graciela has grown in many ways the past two years as a Raiderette and I am very proud of her and all the dancers. The executive board is looking forward to getting know everyone as we all work together to support the L.D. Bell Raiderettes/Sapphires and its Directors. We invite you to our next Booster Club Meeting on May 9, 2023 at 7:00 p.m. so we can talk about what's coming up, address any questions and gather ideas. We can't wait to see each dancer represented at this meeting! ๐
