Although school is out for the summer, Stephen Papesh, vice principal / Athletic Director, works extremely hard all year and continues his fundraising efforts on behalf of the various athletic programs currently underway at Shortridge. School starts in August -- it will be here soon.

The athletic department receives NO funds from IPS or the school for equipment, new or replacement uniforms, safety gear, etc.  Most of the student athletes' families do not have the financial resources to purchase sport-specific shoes or team shirts traditionally provided by individual families.

 Annual Expenses: Approximately $20,000-$30,000
