Cal High Swim Weekly Email #8 - April 15, 2025

Greetings Grizzly Swimmers,

 

Hope everyone had a great spring break!

 

This week's email includes info regarding

  • Volunteering Needs Up Ahead
  • Senior Night Celebration SUG
  • Grizzly Decals Ready for Pick up
  • Team Donations + Corporate Match
  • TU Website
  • Contact Info
  • Important Upcoming Dates

Volunteering Jobs Ahead- All hands on deck as the end of the season approaches. Want to give our newcomers a snapshot of what to expect as far as job sign-ups, so parents can plan their work schedule accordingly or be ready to ask another adult family member/neighbor/friend for their time. We will need up to 30 volunteers on each of the following days. (Be on the lookout for Sign Up Genius links for non-meet jobs.)

  • April 23- Last home meet/Senior Night 
  • May 1- Food donations for Carbo Load
  • May 2-3 EBAL (VAR Trials on Friday during the school day, JV Timed Finals & VAR Finals on Saturday) + snack donations for the Hospitality Table

Senior Night Celebration- Wednesday, April 23 at our home meet 

Senior Night is Wednesday, April 23rd and we need your help honoring our seniors. Please see the Sign Up Genius and sign up for a slot to blow up balloons (balloons and pump provided), setup and clean up, and bring desserts. Thank you in advance for making this a great night honoring our seniors and their families.

Grizzly Swim & Dive Decals and Orange Swim Caps Ready for Pick up- Email me if you'd prefer to pick up from my porch instead of practices/meets.

 

Decals for your car, computer, water bottle, etc. for sale at $10 each. Limited edition orange Cal swim caps also $10 each. Please fill out the following forms and follow payment directions if you're interested. We only have 50 decals on hand, and 30 caps left.

Participation Donations: Thank you to those who have already donated. Please consider donating all/some of the $250 voluntary donation, if you haven't already.

 

You can bring a check to the office payable to "Cal High Swim & Dive" or pay online via Future Fund https://calhigh.futurefund.com/store. You can also ask your employer if they participate in Corporate Matching, where companies match the same amount -- if not more for your school sport donation. You can choose California Athletic Boosters and let me know to be on the look out for it so I can alert our CAB Treasurer.
