Storm Families,
Tis the season, we have started our mid-season meets, and the swimmers are doing great! This is our last weekend so let's keep the momentum rolling.
Our Welcome Desk Director at SHY has asked me to also give a big THANK YOU to all the parent volunteers at the Candy Cane meet we ran at the beginning of the month. Beth said that you made her job so much easier, and I will quote her, "I couldn't have done this without them; they were amazing."
With that, I also want to thank all of those parents who have already stepped up this season to help. It takes a lot of volunteers to keep the program running; without them, we would not be able to run meets for the kids. With all those hours of practicing, the kids deserve to race.
Let's have a great weekend of racing; looking forward to laughing and having lots of fun on the pool decks with all of you!!! GO STORM!!!
Thank you,
Coach Mary
