					<description><![CDATA[This All-School Booster Club offers support to the over 65 clubs and organizations along with 36 athletic teams at Quince Orchard High School.  The QO Booster Club relies heavily on the dedication and hard work of parent volunteers to help raise money and run events. There are many different fundraisers run throughout the year including concessions for football and basketball games, clothing sales, Moola Madness, citrus sales, and this year a new mulch sale. The Booster Club is also responsible for planning and running the After Prom party in May. Through our efforts last year the QO Booster Club funded in excess of $20,000 to support school activities. These activities included support for the TV Crew, Show Choir, Band, Athletic Department, Field Restoration, Literary Magazine, Yearbook, Leadership class, Senior Class, After-Prom, as well as providing the Athletic Plaques, patches and banners for the Fall, Winter, and Spring Awards Nights.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[QO Theatre is Quince Orchard's drama club, an organization that comprises those interested in the theatrical arts. It functions as the producing body for at least 2 shows a year, with members performing, constructing and painting sets, making costumes, collecting and organizing props, hanging and running lights and sound, writing programs, and critical reviews of shows. The stage crew and cast meet almost every day from about 2:45-5. Crew also works some weekends. The club also participates in the homecoming parade, rounds up canned goods for needy children, goes to festivals and to see performances. Meetings of the whole group are irregular and generally occur at lunch. The callboard next to the elevator on the first floor and the website carries Drama Club notices.]]></description>
