Announcements

1) Make sure you attend the Chemical Awareness Meeting on Monday night (11/26) at 6:00 pm in the HHS Little Theater. You and an adult family member need to attend this before a skier can race. If you attended the chemical awareness meeting for a sport this pastfall, you do not need to attend this one. 

2) Sign up for ski camp by November 27th. 

3)  Start raising pledges for the Ski-A-Thon on December 7 (9:00 am-—Noon at Wirth—a no school day).  🔗 for more information and for pledges.

4) If you are renting skate skis from the booster club, please bring your ski boots to practice so we can check the binding type.  We have about 5 skiers who still need to bring in their boots.  Everyone who has brought in their boots should be all set and your skis will be in the wax room.

5) Make sure you skis are at school...we might have last minute opportunities to be on snow for practice. (See last week's announcements about getting your skis to school.)

6) All skiers should make sure they wax their skis this week. JV 2 skiers who need to wax may use part of a practice time to wax.  Varsity and JV 1 skiers may wax only after doing the day's workout. Your wax matters less than your fitness. 

7)  Make sure you order Nordic Spirit Ware by Wednesday, November 28 🔗 for ordering.
