Rockets win Conference title!

It was a big week for us with the JV Conference meet on Monday, Conference diving on Friday and Conference swimming on Saturday! 
The Rockets had excellent performances and team spirit and brought home the FVA Conference title!     Way to go Rockets! 

We will have a whole team meeting Monday, Oct. 31st after school in the pool bleachers, from 3:30-4:00.  Please bring in your equipment if your season is complete.  The parka does not need to be washed, but all other attire should be washed before returning.  The towel can be returned or purchased for a $1.  Also, locks need to be returned and lockers cleaned out.  Please let me know if you have any questions or if you are unable to make the meeting. 

Now it's on to Sectionals! Go Rockets!

Conference Weekend!

It's time for the FVA Conference meet! 

Diving starts tonight at 5:30 at Appleton West!
Swimming is Saturday at 10:30 at Appleton North! The bus is leaving at 8:30 from NHS for the swimmers and all team members are welcome to join.  There is no admission charge for spectators!
Good Luck Rockets! 

Sectional meet and craft fair clarification

Sorry for the confusion with the previous email! Any team members not participating in the Sectional meet, are encouraged, but not required to be at the meet.  We do need 16 team members to be timers for next Saturday. 

For GAIN, they are in need of a few volunteers to help assist at the Craft Fair or provide snacks.  Just to clarify:
  • We don't require our parents to do any set number of volunteer hours, however, if you are able to volunteer for GAIN activities, the team will benefit financially at the end of the school year.
  • The "logging of hours" that was referred to was related to the sign-up link for items still need for the craft fair.  This in the link in case you are interested in helping: Craft Fair/ Swim Meet Concessions and volunteer opportunities
Thank you for all of your support and donations of your time and energy to Neenah Swimming and Diving programs!

GAIN opportunity

Next weekend is going to be an exciting time in our pool!! We host the Sectional meet with diving on Friday and swimming on Saturday
We are asking any team members not participating in the meet to time on Saturday. Each lane will need to have two team members and a parent of a Sectional swimmer.

However . . . if you can't time from Noon-3:00, then we have another opportunity to help the team at the Craft Fair!

If you are able to help fill any of these spots, please email Barbara Dennis at: bveeserdennis@gmail.com
