November 8th- November 13th
Hey all! I hope you had a nice little break from practice and running. We will be back at it this week to get us ready for the West Regional in California!
I've reposted the last post about all of the steps you will need to complete at the bottom of this post. Please get these steps done ASAP.
The disclosure is due tomorrow. Please bring it to school and give it to Coach Shaw! This is very important. If the disclosure is not in by tomorrow you will not be able to go on the trip. We need to get final costs, hotels so that we can move forward. If you have any questions please email Coach Shaw.
Just so you know, we have been talking with the Alta coach and they have at least 8 who are interested in joining our trip. This will reduce the overall cost of the trip.
This week is our runathon. To help with costs get out there and talk with neighbors, friends or family who would be willing to pledge a dollar amount for how many laps you can run in an hour. Your funds go directly to you with excess going to the team. Coaches have created a 3 tier system. As a team if we raise $4,000 we will contribute $25 to each participant. If we raise $5,000, $50 and if we raise $6,000 then $75 per participant. In order to qualify as a participant of the fundraiser you have to get at least 10 pledges no matter the dollar amount! The form is below in the steps link. This will be a fun event!
Many of you have already done the first few steps. Please complete all of these by the due date so we can get an accurate number of students for pricing!

Step 6: Fundraising. Start reaching out to family, neighbors, etc for pledges for the runathon fundraiser. We will be doing the runathon on November 12th at 3:00pm! Pledges will be for a dollar amount for how many laps you can go around the track in 1 hour. If someone is willing to pledge $5 per lap and you ran 20 laps the total would be $100. Pledges can be for any dollar amount, e.g. $.50, $1, $25, etc... The average runner will do 30 laps in an hour.
As a team, if we raise $4,000 the coaches will donate $25 to each kid. If we raise $5,000, $50 and $6,000, $75 per kid. In order to be eligible for this, you must have a minimal amount of 10 pledges filled out.

Step 7: After the runathon let your pledgers know how many laps you ran and how much they need to pay. They can pay below on the successfund link. If they pay through successfund let them know while they're paying they need to put your name in the comment section so we know the money is going towards your trip!
If they give you a check or cash, bring this into the main office and let them know its for our XC Fundraiser to California. Get your receipt and turn it into Coach Shaw.
Please let them know your gratitude for their generosity and support!!
