County Championship Meet

To All Interested,
The CVC Cross Country Championship meet will be held @ Washington's crossing park on Friday 10/31. JV Races go off @ 1:30, Freshman Races go off @ 2:15 Girls go off @ 3:00pm, Boys go off @ 3:30 pm. If you are planning to attend and you are not a member of the cross country team, we may not take you on our bus. Therefore, you must provide your own transportation (parents are a good way to go for this). There is no scheduled early dismissal.

I wish I could remember

I know I was planning to post something on here. I just wish I could remember what it was. We talked about it on the bus ride home today. If you happen to remember what the post was about let me know. If you don't remember, I'll take it as a sign that no one was listening... Again. Ha!

Information

Parents,
Please check the cranburypres.org website for updated information. We should have a discussion about how to approach this for the team. My initial reaction is that the services on thursday should be handled on an individual basis for our athletes. If you feel that this service is important to you and your daughter's healing process then please attend. I think as a team the Saturday service will be the appropriate place for us.
Please don't hesitate to contact me.
