The Week Ahead: 9.3 to 9.7

Building the fire takes a lot of effort with no results to see until you light the match. 

But if you have a match w/o wood you have nothing.

Hopefully, everyone had a fun last long weekend before really jumping in the school year!  Remember, with the changing to a more demanding schedule between school and swimming, we all need to do a good job of keeping up with our sleep, staying organized, etc.  

Post-practice Snack Reminder

• Remember that the point of the post-practice snacks is for the girls to get their recovery and refueling jump-started soon after getting out of the water.  Please keep the snacks you provide healthly: granola bars, trail mix, peanut butter crackers, etc. are all great options.

Tuesday 9.3

• Meet Home Vs. Spring Lake
• Girls need to be on-deck at 5:15 for devotions.
• Warm Up @ 5:30pm.  Meet Start @ 6:30pm.
• Unfortunately, once again we have a meet scheduled for same night as Parent Night at the high school.  We thought we had avoided this when we scheduled last Spring, but Dave Engbers was not notified over the summer when the date of the Parent Night was changed.

Friday 9.6

• Football Cleanup
• We are cleaning up the stadium after the football games on 9.6 and 9.13.
• For each game, we receive a significant amount of money from the school toward our team fund, so this turns out to be an easy fundraiser for us.  
• The more volunteers we have, the faster it goes!  Gloves will be provided.
• If your family has a blower available, please bring it!  That makes it much easier to clean up the bleachers.

Saturday 9.7

• First Saturday Practice...woohoo!
• We will be in the water from 8:00 to 9:30am with pancakes to follow.
