Thank you for all the parents who volunteered to fill the Goody Bags. The kids appreciated it so much!! Please check the Sign-Up-Genius for the Regional Goody Bags. We have enough drinks. So now we are looking for whole fruits, chips, Pirate Booty. Thank you for your support!

On another note, the photos are ready so if you sent in $45, you will be getting a High Resolution picture sent via email of your swimmer and of the team. If you have not sent in the money, you still have time. Bring in a check or cash and give to either Sandy Robbins at the pool or Coach Rob. Thank you again for your support!!

We have set up a SignUpGenius for Goody Bag Items. We will have a very large District team of 38 kids this year! We are asking for donations to the goody bags. Each family will only need to bring 8-12 items. They could be granola bars, playing cards, bouncy balls, oranges and bananas. We simply would like to stuff the bags full for our amazing swimmers! Encouraging words are amazing! Use your imagination!

https://www.signupgenius.com/go/409084EABA92FAA8-elhs3

Also we will be sending out a Sign up Genius for Senior Week! This is a tradition where we used to feed our seniors lunch everyday of the week. Well with Covid-19, some seniors are virtual and lunch is now at the end of the day. SOOO…. We have specified a theme for each day of the week for next week, October 26-30. We only need 17 of each item. Check out the list and see where you can donate. This is an awesome tradition that allows our Seniors to be recognized by their classmates and know that we care very much about them! This year is flying by fast and they will be graduating before we know it!!

Last but not least, our deadline for the Super Bowl applications has been extended to October 30,2020. If you have not filled out the application for your free ticket to the Super Bowl, please do this asap. We want as many volunteers as possible so that we can make our budget this year!! The applications can be found in the documents section above. Please review the Photo requirements as well.

Please feel free to call, text or email me with any questions or concerns you may have! Have a great rest of your evening!

See you at the pool!

GOOD EVENING PARENTS AND SWIMMERS,

Thank you to all the parents who have donated to this great event so far. If you haven’t donated and you would like to, we would very happy to have any monetary donation that you can afford. So far there have only been 6 kids out of the 49 on our entire team that have paid the $45 that we asked for last week. These funds are needed to help us continue our traditions for the rest of the season from now until the State Championship Meet. We would very much appreciate if you could send in the $45 as soon as possible.

That said, I am attaching the Super Bowl Form again to this email. If you have not filled out, please fill it out as soon as possible and send it in to Chelmstetter@legends.net.

Good luck to all the swimmers tomorrow and have a wonderful evening!!

See you at the pool!
