Booster Bash

Parents:

The Avon Lake Booster Bash will be held Saturday, March 5th. It is the big fundraiser for the year, and one of the varsity cross country parents wanted me to forward the following note to the middle school parents (see below).

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out! If I can't answer them I can direct you to someone who can.

Thanks!

Coach Rocco

Dear XC Parents,

The Avon Lake Athletic Boosters is hosting its annual Booster Bash on March 5th.  This is an event that generates funds for all of the sports programs at Avon Lake High School.  The Cross Country team is making baskets for the silent auction, and is also sponsoring a beer pull.  The profits from both of these will exclusively go towards the boys and girls high school XC teams.  We are reaching out to Learwood parents, since many of your kids will be on the high school team either this fall, or in the next couple years.  We would love to have your support!  A large portion of the money raised will be used to offset the cost of our annual 2 night XC Camp the teams attend at Pokagon State Park in Indiana.

Thanks in advance for your help!  Please click on the link below to sign up for a beer donation.

The ALHS Boys and Girls XC Teams

Running with Rocco: Weeks of January 31st and February 7th

Athletes & Parents:

The schedule for the next two weeks is below, sorry for the delay...it's been a crazy week. Unfortunately I can't meet this Saturday, so I'm posting running times below.

A few things to note regarding the weather:

• If the temperature is around 30 degrees and the wind chill isn't bad, we'll run outside
• If the wind chill makes it feel as though it is 20 degrees or below, then we most likely will not meet
• Snow and ice are also a factor--if there's excessive snow/ice we most likely will not meet
• I'll send out REMIND notices and I'll have the office make an announcement if a session is canceled
• Make sure to dress in layers, bring a hat & gloves, and watch your footing when we run

Running Schedule:

• Thursday             2/3               10 - 20 minutes
• Friday                  2/4               14 - 24 minutes
• Saturday             2/6               16 - 26 minutes
