About Us
The SJND Booster Club is a volunteer-run organization of parents and community members fundraising and working to support the SJND Athletics Program. We coordinate fundraising efforts such as the annual Pasta Dinner to support all of our athletics programs. We also engage with our community to show our school spirit and Pilot pride.
We meet every month of the school year to discuss Boosters and SJND athletics matters. We encourage all coaches and team parents to attend. You are welcome to join us for a meeting to learn more about Boosters, what we do, and how you can get involved.

Ray Ratto Sr. Athletic Booster Club Scholarship
In 2011, the Booster Club started a scholarship for graduating student-athletes in honor of Ray Ratto Sr. In May of each year, senior student-athletes are invited to apply for the Ray Ratto Sr. Athletics Booster Scholarship Award. From all applicants, two student athletes will be chosen to receive an award of $500 each.
Ray and his wife, Irene, had seven children attend St. Joseph Elementary School and St. Joseph Notre Dame High School. Ray was an active member of the SJND School Board for many years. He could often be seen in front greeting our parishioners as they attended Mass on Sundays, as Ray was an usher for our church. Ray farmed in Oakland and would provide the salad for all of our dinners. We treasure his legacy and example of support and dedication.
