We Need All the Boosters We Can Get (Letter Below)

We sent this letter home with the students last week. I hope they all made it into the parents' hands. Just in case, here is the info again.

Also, we have several students who are missing fees and other eligibility paper work. Our first race is scheduled for next Tuesday, Dec. 1. Please ask your skier if they have turned everything in. They have been told and should know if they need something.

Dear Parents of the Nordic skiers,

My husband Steve and I realize that the Nordic ski program is in need of funds so
our skiers can train on a course and Simley can host home meets. Therefore we are willing to start a booster club for the Simley Nordic ski program. We will be having the first meeting this Sunday evening November 21st , 7:00 pm at Caribou (by Wal-mart) to elect officers and to get input from the parents, please come, we need your help to grow the program. This is our daughters third year in skiing, and we realized after last year the school only can fund so much. The needs of the program are growing, while budget cuts
are being made.

We have been involved in many sports and activities at Simley, we feel this fundraiser is the most effective and least costly. It is called a Kilometer-a-thon and consists of sending a sponsor form to friends, family, neighbors or local business, asking for their support,

Attached are five “Kilometer-a-thon” letters, which we are asking each skier to fill in their name, who they are sending it to, and a message like “ Aunt Tracy, hope you can support me in skiing this season”. On the other side fill in the address it is being sent to.
Return the forms to Coach Anderson or Coach Sedler by Wednesday, November 25th. We will fold and stamp them and send them out so we can see some results.

Also, we are hosting a pasta dinner to start off the ski season at our home on Monday November 30th, the night before the first meet. We live two blocks from school, so the whole team can all walk here together after practice, get their carb intake, do some team bonding, and be picked up at about 6:30/7ish.

This is our third year doing this and the kids seem to enjoy it.

Thanks for your support, raising money is never easy.

THINK SNOW

Sandy and Steve
