Cross Country Parents:
Here's the information regarding SWC Championship Week:
Monday: We will be practicing at Cahoon Park in Bay Village. Buses will leave Learwood at 3:30 p.m. and we should return to Learwood by 5 p.m. Athletes should bring something to drink & a snack and parents should arrange for transportation home from Learwood at 5 p.m.
Thursday: We will have our SWC Team Meeting after practice. After the meeting, we will be hosting our Cross Country Movie Night in the Learwood Auditorium. We will be watching Miracle. This is completely optional! Athletes do not have to attend the movie. Mrs. Glasser and other parents have been gracious enough to provide snacks for athletes who choose to attend the movie. We should be finished with the practice/meeting/movie by 7 p.m.
Friday While there is no school on Friday, we will be having our final practice of the year on Friday. We will meet at the Learwood Track and practice will be from 10-11:30 a.m. Afterwards, we will have our Pizza Party in the Learwood Auditorium. Please arrange for transportation home by 12:15 p.m. Attendance to Friday's practice is mandatory!
This week we will be asking athletes to get a lot of rest. Please make sure to get enough sleep, especially on Thursday and Friday nights!
Make sure to eat healthy this week and drink lots of fluids! Athletes are encouraged to eat healthy--refrain from drinking any soda. Make sure to stay hydrated and drink plenty of fluids throughout the week!
Stay healthy this final week of the season! Make sure to stay as healthy as possible! Athletes need to stretch when they get home, and make sure to wash hands at all opportunities to avoid getting sick.
Parents, if you are aware of any toilet-papering of my house, please make sure athletes do not go on my roof! This is the week where athletes typically toilet paper my house...toilet paper, plastic forks/knives, and shaving cream is fine, but please, no silly string (it's impossible to clean up)! Also, athletes told me last year that they were on my roof when they were over...please remind them to stay off the roof! I will conveniently be at Learwood in the evenings for most of this week.
We will be going to Dairy Queen (Avon Lake) after SWCs on Saturday! After the races, we usually go to Dairy Queen. Parents can arrange transportation home from Dairy Queen on Saturday instead of Learwood. Please plan on picking up your child around 4:30ish.
