HELPFUL INFORMATION

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE JV STARS FOR THEIR 1ST PLACE VICTORY – Swimmers, Coaches, and Parents all came together for a wonderful finish to the 2015 season. It has been a pleasure watching your children build friendships, become more proficient swimmers, and cheer each other on.

End of Year Party (Awards Dinner) – Please RSVP by this Wednesday for the end of the year party to be held at the Jersey Village Civic Center (16327 Lakeview Drive, 77040 – where we had registration). Event starts at 6:30 PM on Friday, June 26th. Please RSVP for the TOTAL headcount for those in your family attending the dinner. RSVP can be done online via the link attached in the email you received earlier. If you have issues online, then you can RSVP to kristine.e.gill@altria.com.

Backyard Grill has once again kindly donated their services for this occasion. Please express your gratitude to them for their generosity and continued support of our team. While food and drinks will be covered for this event, dessert is typically donated by the parents. If you’d like to be part of this tradition, please contact kim@life-leap.com to let her know what you would like to bring.

Team trophies, as well as special recognition awards, will be given out to swimmers after dinner is served. Be sure to bring your cameras to capture all the happy and proud faces. 

Practice Schedule – If you have indicated that your child will swim in one of the invitational meets, practice for that child will be held at the times listed above.

Trinity/Ponderosa Invitationals –For those who achieved qualifying times during Divisionals, you will be contacted regarding participation in this meet. Please note that if you said YES, we will enter your swimmer in every event for which he/she qualifies unless you stated that you do not wish to swim a particular event. Families are responsible for costs ($5/event) with qualifying relays being covered by the team. Payment is due Monday, June 22nd. Please remember that for those swimmers who will attend one of the final invitational meets, additional practice will be held from June 22-26th.

Swim-a-Block – Special message from Joy Onorato, event coordinator: I would like to thank the parents and swimmers that collected donations to help replace our team’s aging swim blocks. We have collected $1,400. We only need another $1,600 to reach our goal of $3,000.  If you have not donated toward this worthy cause, it is not too late. Please put your donation in an envelope labeled "Swim-A-Block" and give it to the coaches or a board member this week. Please send me an e-mail at jonorato5@att.net so that I can track it. I am available to pick up your donations as well! Thank you in advance for your generosity!

JV Stars Board – The board would like to thank you for your 2015 JV Stars team participation. We hope that you and your family have had a wonderful experience. While we strive to make things better and more enjoyable with each year, we realize that there is always room to grow. If you have any comments or suggestions for the future direction of our team, please let us know. We will put a Comments Box out at the awards dinner. Please feel free to let us know what you think. We value your opinions.
