Parents, Cheer On!

The Sea of Blue was created to increase the spirit of the Menlo School parent body and to provide parents with avenues of support for Menlo student-athletes. 

How? The Sea of Blue…

• Encourages attendance at all Menlo athletic events through increased communication and publicity;
• Supports the Athletic Department by coordinating volunteer needs at home games for concessions, ticket sales, scoreboard management, etc.; and
• Sells Menlo Sea of Blue logo items to enable a visible presence at athletic events.

Why?

•  Any proceeds that are raised through concessions, Sea of Blue apparel, donations, team optional apparel, and other Sea of Blue fundraising activities will be used as follows:
• Supplement the Jay Ward Fund,* a full opportunity fund which assists students with need-based athletic expenses
• Build team and community spirit at championship games through the purchase of balloons, banners, and other items

What can you do?
