Miracle Mile Dinner - 10/6/2011

Come to Culver's of 9/22 - Invite Family & Friends

Required by 10/1 - AIA Mandated

AIA NEEDS YOU TO COMPLETE

We have spoke to several of you, and we want to clarify, this is NOT the same thing as the concussion paper you turned in with your original district paperwork. This is an AIA requirement, NOT just Paradise Valley Unified School District requirement. An athlete may become ineligible to play ANY sports if this is not completed by the deadline. PLEASE COMPLETE THIS ASAP. You will need to complete a quick registration and plan on the whole thing taking roughly 40-50 minutes.  

MANDATORY – FULL TEAM PARTICIPATION IS REQUIRED!!!  (Even if you are a returning swimmer – so this means every swimmer and diver.)

 

Below is the link to the AIA mandated student concussion education program called Brainbook.  All fall athletes must take this course before Oct. 1st.  They need to print out the completion certificate and turn in to Ms. Roman.  They only need to do this course 1 time for their HS career.  If the link is not working, it can be found on aiaonline.org under the AIA academy link at the top.  Please take it seriously because you do have to finish a test at the end of the course.

If you don’t want to take the chance, be sure to get that email in excusing your child on time.

REMINDER:

BBQ PARTY @ LA PORTE’S before practice on Monday September 5^th.  4-6P

5453 E. Danbury Rd.    Scottsdale, AZ 85254. Map Link:  http://bit.ly/nUo1A6

CALENDAR CHANGE:

Location: Chandler High School Aquatic Center.

350 N. Arizona Ave.
Chandler, AZ

Map Link: http://bitly.com/WolvesInvite

FOR NEW SWIMMERS / DIVERS – meet at PHS to catch the bus. The coaches can specify where on campus you need to be, so ask them tomorrow at the Mandatory meeting. Parents – if you want to attend the meet, you will need to drive. The map links are on the calendar that was provided at the team meeting. I have attached an updated calendar with this email.

The Athletic Director is working on providing adequate transportation for the entire team as our team has potentially grown larger than what 1 bus can handle. That being said, he has confirmed that it is acceptable if you as a PARENT want to drive your child TO and FROM a meet, you can opt to do that- BUT – you must send him and email stating what you are doing.  NO KIDS ARE ALLOWED TO DRIVE TO AND FROM A MEET PER LIABILITY ISSUES. If you decide to do this during the season, please follow these guidelines:

Send an email to Corey Newland the Athletic Director to: cnewland@pvlearners.net by Wednesday before a meet by 2p.  You must also CC the coaches on this email so they are aware your child will not be on the bus.  Their emails are as follows:

 Coach Josh      coachjosh.tayrien@gmail.com

 Coach Laura    spinnme38@yahoo.com

 Coach Kelly     gr8teacher@cox.net

FINALLY:

$200 District Fee Payments are ready to be accepted. Unfortunately, the online process is not up and running. Payment will need to be in the form of a check made out to Pinnacle High School and brought to the Athletic Director’s office and given to Louise Gilbert the AD Secretary by September 7. Be sure to note your child and swim / dive in the memo line.

Remember to  turn this in with the tax credit form

http://www.pvschools.net/pdfs/TaxCredit_Flyer.pdf

Suits are in – to be distributed at Mandatory practice.

Caps – still awaiting delivery.

T-shirts are delayed a little and will be in around Sept. 8^th. We will let you know when they come in.

Welcome Back to PHS Swim & Dive Team 2011-2012

 

I hope your summers were restful and eventful, but it’s that time of year again.  Are you ready?  Let’s go!

 

COACHING STAFF CHANGES

We have been very fortunate to have great coaching, but as all things do, the coaching staff is changing this year.  Here is the announcement regarding our Head Coach we received through club swim:

 

  We are sad to announce that Coach Mike will be moving to the metro Atlanta area to join the Chattahoochee Gold coaching staff.  While we are sad to see Coach Mike go, we are also excited for him and this great opportunity that came looking for him. 

When Mike took over the Senior Program at Swim Neptune it was little more than a high school group without any Sectional level qualifiers.  In three and a half years Mike grew the team to include 16 Sectional qualifiers this past season.  He helped to create a foundation of excellence within Swim Neptune for our older swimmers to reach the highest levels of our sport.  Coach Joe Johnson has been working closely with Coach Mike over the past season and knows all the kids in the group very well.  We anticipate a very smooth transition as Joe Johnson takes over the Senior Group at the JCC.

 

 

Mike has been an incredible coach and addition to PHS.  We are all very sad to see him go.  Best wishes to you Mike!!!!  We Love You!

 

Pinnacle has also hired a new Athletic Director who has been great to talk with so far and very responsive.  As of now, we currently have a teacher representative who happens to be the parent of one of our incoming freshman this year, Mrs. Kelly Roman.  We are excited to have her as a new addition to the team.  She is eager to get moving and set the wheels in motion.  Welcome Mrs. Roman!

 

There are currently postings for the Head Coach and Assistant Coach.  Due to changes in coaching staff, practice times are TBA.  As soon as we know, we will let you know as well as the day to begin practices and where.

 

ANNUAL TEAM MEETING - POTLUCK

 

We are requiring that the swimmers/divers participate in this meeting this year in addition to the parents.  We have felt the kids have not been as connected with the inner workings of the team as would be beneficial, so this is a great opportunity to create community prior to the start of meets etc. 

 

When:  August 14, 1p to 3p

Where: Aviano Community Center – Banquet Room - 3935 E. Rough Rider Road ( From Desert Ridge:  Deer Valley Rd west to Aviano Way – head north to round-about. )

 

What to Bring:

                Physical Form – completed by your doctor  (see previous post)

                Parent Consent Form  (see previous post)

                1 Case of water (qualifies you for the raffle) – for meets

                1 package of non perishable snacks – for meets

                1 check $200 – made out to PVUSD – District Fee

                1 check $125 – made out to PHS Swim & Dive  ( this is the booster fee which covers team suit, team t-shirt, swim cap, end of season banquet fee)

                                THIS IS A 10% REDUCTION IN FEES FROM LAST YEAR!!!  YIPPEE!

 

                POTLUCK BY LAST NAMES: (this is in between meals, so light snacks is plenty)

 

A-D – PAPER PRODUCTS (PLATES, NAPKINS, CUPS, SILVERWARE)

FUNDRAISING UPDATE

HI EVERYONE!

I have been using a new communication tool to jumpstart our fundraising, but it seems some of you aren’t opening the emails.  Please check to make sure none of them have been dumped into junk mail etc…  The Subject line will always reference PHS Swim & Dive. 

 

We are getting our fundraising underway to keep from adding to the already jam-packed hectic fall swim season.  We are attempting to near our fundraising goal of $6000 before the season begins, but it is going to require the cooperation of everyone.  I have received a question regarding why we need to fundraise so much money.  This is money above and beyond what the district fee and booster fee pays for.  Here is what the money is intended for:

 

·         4 invites = $1600

·         Season Slide show DVD at the End of Season Banquet for everyone

·         Senior gifts – towels & roses

·         Fun T-Shirt – for the t-shirt party (shirt and supplies)

·         Sweats – top & bottom

·         Additional shade structures – we have used the team tent, the Reinstein’s tent and our tent.  We feel that our tents have and will continue to take quite a beating and we would like to preserve them.  The team could use additional shade beyond the one tent that belongs to the team.

·         Coaches lunches at the invites

·         1 Team picture for each swimmer / diver

·         (This is all based on an approximation of 50 swimmers/divers)

 

We have allowed for a little extra in the event of changes in pricing and to help build up the account. 

 

As many of you know, the costs (district fee $200 and Booster fee) at the beginning of the season can be difficult especially in the economy of the last few years.  These are all expenses in addition to those costs.  This has been done in an effort to be sensitive to everyone’s finances.  The season is quick and robust.  There always seems to be additional expenses throughout.  Hopefully this will help enable each swimmer / diver to participate without finances being a barrier; however, in order for everyone to benefit we need everyone’s participation. 

 

We have a variety of fundraisers to encourage team building, unity and quick money.  The quicker we make our goal, the quicker we can finish up the fundraising.

 

The first 2 fundraisers are beginning today: 

SEE DETAILS BELOW.  PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, BE SURE TO RSVP TO THESE ACTIVITIES!!!

 

A link below will take you to a video of the Spring/Summer Collection to get an idea of what the styles are.

In the Fall...

TEAM YARD SALE - DATE TBD

2 years ago, we had a very successful yard sale for the team.  So it's time to put on our wading boots and venture into those corners of our homes we don't dare go every day.  Time to clean out the house and make some money.  The sale will be held in the fall at the Quinonez's home: 22515 N. 39th Terrace  Phoenix, AZ 85050.  Details on how to drop off your items to come.

 

 

THANKS EVERYONE!!!  PLEASE REPLY IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS!!!
