THANKS FOR A GREAT SEASON!

I just wanted to thank everyone for a great season! 

We really appreciated everyone's help with the team. Thanks especially to the following people:

  • Mrs. Rose for organizing our Friday night dinners
  • All the parents for donating to our team dinners and for the volunteers who helped feed and serve the team
  • Mrs. Byrne & Mrs. Brown for taking pictures this season
  • Mrs. Walters for putting together our team video
  • Mrs. Fababe for organizing the team bowling party
  • Mr. and Mrs. Deaton for donating desserts and gift bags to the kids
I'm sure we may have forgotten some people...if so I apologize--a lot of people helped make this a great season, so thank you! 

Finally, we'd like to thank the MIGHTY SHOREMEN & SHOREGALS! It was good to get back to a normal season, and I'd like to thank the athletes for giving us their very best this season. We were extremely proud of how you conducted yourselves as a TEAM this season, and last Saturday was another reminder of how tough you all are. Peepers, Ferrari, and I saw some girls on other teams tip-toeing around puddles at the start line...while our girls were chanting as one team as they went through their warm-ups, already muddy, defiantly telling us they weren't cold. That's when we knew it was going to be a special race. You didn't just endure the tough times this season, you embraced them. So thank you for that as well.

You are two tough teams that have bright futures. We'll be back next season :) 

A couple notes:
  • I'll be reaching out in the next few days as we put the finishing touches on this season, so you'll be hearing from me soon. 
  • I'll be switching off two-way communication on REMIND in the next few days, so if you need to reach out for any reason just email me at rob.rocco@avonlakecityschools.org. I'll still send out texts via REMIND this off-season.
  • If you no longer need to receive texts, just reply LEAVE to one of my texts and I'll remove you. Or email me to let me know you no longer need to receive texts. 
  • Three families ordered shirts that aren't in yet, I'll reach out to you once they come in.
  • For those athletes not participating in a winter sport, we'll be taking three weeks off to rest and then we'll start our off-season training for Track & Field! I'll post information about that in a couple weeks.
