TEAM PRAYER SERVICE THIS PAST WEEK

The wrestling team’s prayer service this past week focused on the virtue of “Wisdom”.  The coaching staff shared their favorite quotes, which were discussed in small groups. 

Thanks to the parents who have shared your wisdom quotes.  We plan to use your input during the team’s Powerade prayer service.  If you did not get a chance to respond but still wish to do so, please send a note to Coach Hill, who coordinates all the wrestling prayer services:  dhill@moeller.org.

KROGER CARD PROGRAM

For any families who are actively using the Kroger Card Program, please check the following below note from Dick Beerman, who administers the Kroger Program for wrestling: 

We need your assistance in identifying card users for whom our records are insufficient. We ask that each family actively using this fund-raising program, review the following list carefully and contact us if you are aware of who should be receiving credit for the ID number shown.

Card Number                     Card Holder                        We are unable to credit because -

41400872986                      Linda Bowen                      Do not know which athlete should receive credit

41456210222                      Judith Byrne                                       “              “              “              “             

41460201605                      Melissa Kaufman                             “              “              “              “

In addition to the three listed above we have five (5) other cards for which we are receiving credit, but the report either does NOT provide a name or it lists the fact that ‘information is incomplete. If any of these cards belong to you or your family, please let us know and we will mail you directions on how to assure that you will be receiving the credit your athlete deserves.

PROCEDURE ON BAD WEATHER

As we get into a period of potential bad weather, please note the team’s policy:

During non-school days in which the weather is bad or forecasted to be bad, the following steps will be taken to communicate the status of a practice or competition:

-          An email will be sent at least one hour prior to the scheduled event with the status of the practice or competition. 

-          A notice will be placed on the Moeller website (www.moeller.org) and/or Athletic web site (www.letsgobigmoe.org). 

Please note:  even though practices may be held on bad weather days based on road conditions around Moeller, parents should use their judgment on their son’s attendance due to the road conditions around their home.  Wrestlers who cannot make a practice due to the weather, should communicate via email or text that they will not be in attendance.  Please communicate before the practice is scheduled to begin.
