September 29 - FUNDRAISER FRENZY and other stuff...
Swimmers and Parents,
Thank you swimmers for coming out and getting RED! The E
looks wonderful and you all worked so hard, thank you! We will finish
this fun project WEDNESDAY (not tomorrow) so remember to bring your 4
inch roller if you have one. What a difference and what a great way to
support our school and show that the swim team has the most school
spirit! We will also be making posters for Saturday's fundraiser so
more kids the better! Remember to check it out next time you drive by!
We are in the final planning stages of this weekend's fundraiser PANCAKE BREAKFAST, SILENT AUCTION and BAKE SALE. We encourage and challenge every swimmer to bring in at least 5 extra attendees who will come eat, bid and buy. Attached is the flyer (thanks Steve Swanson!!) and we encourage you all to post it on your FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM and/or TWITTER accounts and EMAIL/TEXT it to your family and friends so we can get as many people as possible. We'll be posting flyers around the school and plan to advertise around the community this week. Remember to bring your cash and checkbooks to support our team!
Thanks to
those of you who have offered your services! We have more positions to
fill and items to donate, so here's your chance! There will be a
sign-up sheet at workouts tomorrow and Wednesday -- swimmers can sign
themselves AND their parents up for a shift or two. We need all hands
on deck so please help! Attached is a signup sheet for those of you who have already committed. If you are interested in filling a vacant spot, please respond to this email!
PANCAKE BREAKFAST:
We priced out all of the food items at Costco and we'd really appreciate
making this a total fundraiser and having any of you who are able to, donate
these items. Email Joslin Wright back and let her know if you are willing to help out by THURSDAY AT NOON so she can purchase what isn't donated.
