Parents,

Pictures

Here is a link for our swim team pictures on June 8th: https://www.scotthousley.com/2023-post-oak-swim

You'll need to go through this link for pics. You pay $10 per family and it goes toward your order. If you plan to get any individual pics or a team pic, it is required. If you just want be in the team pic, but not buy one, you'll just come that day.

We would love to have ALL the team be in the team picture, including the Guppies. Everyone will wear their team shirts. We always get a banner and love for your kids to be on it!

Swimathon

I need some help with our Swimathon.

Without going into a ton of details, we had a plan for Swimathon prizes, but that entire plan fell through, unfortunately. 

Normally, all prizes are collected before the season even starts, so just starting now puts us at a disadvantage. We were going to just cancel the Swimathon this year, but we had kids that were upset by that and parents, too. So, it is going to be difficult, but I know we can pull it off if we have some more hands working on it!

Our normal prize list for Swimathon:

4 larger prizes:(such as a parties at Xdrenaline or Skyzone or compatible)

• Top fundraiser
• Top fundraiser
• Top fundraiser

12 smaller sale prizes:Top lap swimmers for a boy and girl (2 of same prizes) in each category: 

• 5/6
• 7/8
• 9/10
• 11/12
• 13/14
• 15-18

Currently we have secured four prizes: a certificate to Top Golf, a family pack for Stars and Strikes, and two homemade cookie baskets.

****This is where you come in. I need ideas and actual prizes.***

I really need to get some baskets or bags together for these groups. In the past that has looked like maybe a couple passes to Andrettis thrown in with some candy, movie themed basket, Escape rooms, ax throwing, Mountasia, Altitude, etc. I like to do two of the same prizes in each age group.

I need at least one person at each age level that could be in charge of putting together two age- appropriate baskets. Who knows better what your swimmer would like than YOU?

We are looking for donations from businesses that kids love. I just don’t have the time to do all this now with being in the middle of swim. I don't want to just buy something smaller without trying to see what's out there for good prizes the kids will go crazy over!

I know there are a lot of people out there that have done this before in the schools and I never ask for help with this, but I’m in a bind. Please think about it and let me know what you can do to help. I will greatly appreciate all the help I can get!

We hand the baskets out to winners on the day of the swim party, June 28th. Please let me know what questions you have and how you can help.

Sincerely,

Kori
