9-16-12 Newsletter
Good Evening JCKW! Please read this entire e-mail for important news, date, and practice information.
-There is NO practice for ALL groups Tues. night due to a High School Meet.
-Blue and Black will have make-up practice on Wed. night at normal times
-Prep will have make-up on Friday night. Check with your coach this Thurs. to confirm what time on Friday night.
-Morning practice for medal groups on Monday, Tuesday and Friday morning.
-THIS WEEK on Monday and Thursday all swimmers need to have their picture taken at practice so that the coaches will have the kids smiling faces as a reference when taking attendance and doing meet entries. Cassie or Coach will be taking pictures and they can be wet, or dry. No need to look pretty.
-The front door. We understand and agree that the buzzer on the front door can be a bit of an “annoyance”. The reason it is there is because it is required by the school district in the spirit of child safety. There are three places from which you may be “buzzed” inside. At the door, at the red counter, and at the coaches desk all the way in the pool area are the three locations. If it is locked please pull gently when the green light comes on. If you need to pull hard, please don’t keep pulling harder because you have not yet been “buzzed” in. The past few weeks we have been trying to rotate some parents to man the buzzing station. It would be a great help if ALL parents would offer to take on this job. We DO NOT want to make a job sign up for “buzzer watch”. Thank you ahead of time for helping with this.
-All parents and children not swimming are asked to go to the upper deck. If a younger swimmer needs his/her parent on the deck this is completely understandable and we expect the parent to do what is necessary.
-PARENT MEETING- will be held at the pool at 6pm on Tuesday Sept. 25th. Pizza will be served for parents and swimmers. At this meeting we will discuss many things including the upcoming meet, swim-a-thon, volunteer requirements, and other general information. Please plan to have at least one parent attend. Pizza will be provided for siblings as well. There will be a sign up list at the pool this week so that we can have a proper count and can provide dinner.
-HOME SWIM MEET- the home meet is October 6th. We need all parents of Blue, Black and Medal swimmers to plan on volunteering to work at this meet. This is one of our fund raisers that we rely on to make money to in turn keep the dues low for swimming on JCKW.
CONCESSIONS VOLUNTEER- we are looking for a volunteer to run concessions at the home meet. This is a SHORT, morning meet and running concessions will not involve providing lunch or pre-purchasing tons of food. We will be taking donations from parents for the concessions and are looking for a parent to help coordinate this process. Please contact Stephanie Miller at 417-529-5499 if you can help.
SAVE THE DATE- Swim-a-thon is October 25th.
FINALLY!!! We want to again welcome the new swimmers. JCKW has over 130 swimmers! It is going to be a fantastic season.
