Weekly Schedule-9/8/14

Whew....we survived the last week and a half in one piece and had a nice showing at the Loveland Invite Friday night. I have to admit that the three away meets and practices made for a long 10 days but the girls did great! Honestly, that was probably the longest/hardest stretch of our season.

Here's our schedule for this week...
Monday           Practice             3:30-5:30pm
Tuesday           Practice             3:30-6:00pm
Wednesday      Practice             3:30-5:45pm
Thursday          Home Meet vs. Thornton & Fort Morgan

For our home meet the girls need to be at the gym at 3:30pm to help set up. March in is at 6:00pm

*please note that times may vary on my weekly emails from the calendar. Go with the times posted here as they are the current and correct times.

Parent T-Shirt's
I apologize for the delay in getting these ordered. My screen printer was suppose to send me an order form and hasn't done so yet but I'm going to go ahead and start taking orders. Please email me your sizes and requests and send a check in for $12 (per shirt ordered) made payable to PM Shirts. This year we are ordering royal blue short sleeve shirts with BHS Gymnastics in white (same as what we ordered in 2012).

Race 4 The Cure
I'm so excited to be participating in the Race 4 The Cure again this year as a team. This is such a fun event and something that I'm excited to be able to do as a team. I've set up a team (BHS Gymnastics) for us to register through and hope to see everyone there. Follow the link to register (all family is welcome). The plan will be to walk the race and meet downtown prior to the start that way everyone can choose their own mode of transportation (the bus is usually best).

As always thanks for all of your support and help...especially with snacks and drinks, they have been fantastic so far!!!

Spirit Packs
I should have spirit packs ready for distribution this week...please send pay with your daughter ASAP!

Checks must be made payable to BHS Gymnastics.  $69.39 (if you attended camp) and 118.39 (if you did not attend camp)

Week #1 & Spirit Packs

We had a good first day of practice (everyone remembered their practice receipt :)) and are now officially underway for the 2014 season. A few reminders and updates...

• Practice this week M-Th from 2-4:30pm 
• Car Wash CANCELLED - I received a call from Walgreens on Friday that they are no longer allowing groups to hold car washes at any of their stores. This is such a bummer as we've had successful car washes there for the past 8 or 9 years. At this point I haven't had time to find a new location so I don't think we are going to reschedule. The money raised from this was usually used as our petty cash for the season and we used for extra snacks and drinks in the gym, at meets, march in attire for special meets and other misc. items. At this point we'll try not to ask for any additional money from you to cover these expenses but know that we might be able to provide as much as we have in the past. If you by chance know of a business that would allow us to have a car wash (and it's a good easy in/out location) please let me know. 
• PDRC Closure - PDRC will be closed for maintenance next week and the gym will be getting a new floor and carpet which is why we are unable to use the facility. I've since found out the carpet is on backorder and we might incur additional gym closures as a result. I'll keep everyone posted but please bear with me as I do my best to work around the City's schedule.
• Next Week's Schedule: Mon. at Mtn Range HS 6-8pm                     Tue. at BHS track 3:30-5pm                                                                      Wed. at Mtn Range HS 6-8pm                                 Thurs. team BBQ at Gabby Dorato's house (I'll send address in private email)  6:30pm
• Spirit Packs - Spirit Packs are on order and should arrive in the next week or so. I will not be able to distribute to your daughter in less I've received payment so please send in a check.     Make checks payable to BHS GYMNASTICS.                                   Amount Due: $118.39 (if you're daughter DID NOT attend camp)  Amount Due: $69.39 (if your daughter DID attend camp - because our boating activity was cancelled at camp each athlete received a $49 credit towards your spirit pack). As a reminder your daughter is going to receive a tank leo, tank top, t-shirt, jacket, backpack and socks (from camp). I try my best to secure quality products at a reasonable price and feel like it's a pretty good value considering all they are receiving. 

That's all for now...thanks for your continued support and I'm excited to finally be underway on the season!

SIGN UPS
This year I'm using Sign Up Genius for our team snacks, dinners, BBQ RSVP and volunteer positions. I'm asking that every family volunteer for at least 1 meet snack and 1 volunteer position. We have more slots than team members so I may reach out and ask for additional help but let's see where this 1/1 requirement gets us. There are less BBQ slots than athletes so if you don't sign up for the BBQ please sign up for a 2nd snack.
