Jumping News

Dear 1-day a week parents, What fun it was to spend the day with your children yesterday! The youngest children searched for the elusive SNOWFLAKE (letter stamps scattered throughout the fields and woods); and our older children were engaged in games of Capture the Flag and Soccer!  As the season is nearing the end, I wanted to send a few notes and reminders.   BANQUET INFORMATION: We will celebrate this wild and wacky season, our skiers, families, coaches, and other volunteers with our 2nd Annual Ford Sayre Nordic Banquet on Friday, March 11, from 6-7:30pm at the Black Recreation Center in Hanover. The Banquet is potluck style, with pizza ordered by Ford Sayre. We have put together a google doc for you to RSVP  and sign up to bring food or help with various jobs (if you are able). NOTE that there are two tabs on the google doc! We really hope that you’ll join us for this event! It is a wonderful way to connect with other families, and to celebrate the incredibly positive attitudes that your children brought to our brief skiing period… and numerous grassy and woodland adventures. It has truly been a pleasure to work with your children!   REMINDER: LAST DAY OF PRACTICE IS NEXT WEEK Next Tuesday, March 8th is our last scheduled day of practice.   GOOD LUCK TO OUR BKL FESTIVAL SKIERS! Our best wishes to those children heading to the BKL Festival this weekend. Over 40 children from Ford Sayre (including a handful from the 1-day program) will be heading to the Great Glen Ski Trails this weekend!  If you didn’t get a chance to register, but still wanted to attend the Festival, there is a late registration option available here (until Thursday).   Best wishes, Aricca; 603-715-7233; bkl.one.day@fordsayre.orgContinue reading →

Technique:	skate skiing
Wax Recommendation:	what you have on is fine

NOTES:

The only snow in town is at the base of the Dartmouth Ski Way and since the Dartmouth team will be practicing on it on Thursday, WE will practice on it tomorrow! Oh yeah!  Join us for some fun there tomorrow. It might be our last day on snow! We know it will take longer for our Norwich/Hanover skiers, so note the timing!

BANQUET:

We will celebrate this wild and wacky season, our coaches, skiers, families and support staff with our annual Ford Sayre Nordic Banquet on Monday night, March 14, from 5-7pm at the Black Recreation Center. THERE IS NO SCHOOL that day in the Dresden school district so your kids can spend the day helping to make the food you bring to the banquet! Perfect! Ursula has put together a google doc here where you can sign up to bring food and help with various jobs. NOTE that there are two tabs on the google doc: one for volunteering, one for food!

BKL FESTIVAL THIS WEEKEND:

A complete organizational email for the festival will come out on Thursday. At this point, we have 41 Ford Sayre skiers participating!

Cheers,

Ashley and Peter

INFORMATION FOR THE 1 DAY BKL PROGRAM:

Location:	Garipay Fields (9 Reservoir Road, Hanover)
Time:	3:30-4:30
Technique:	Dryland
Forecast:	Mid 30s

The grass is green(ish) and the fields are dry(ish).

We had so much fun with your children last week – scavenger hunts, capture the flag, soccer, freeze tag, and more! Thanks for sending them with such positive attitudes!

The Woodstock Sweetheart Race is on! Everyone is welcome and encouraged to give this race a try! Costumes, sparkles and fairy wings are encouraged and might actually make you faster. See flier for more information.

The Woodstock nordic club has partnered up with Suicide Six so that the nordic community can host a simple, low-key, fun race tomorrow on a 1/2 kilometer man-made loop. It will be the perfect event to enjoy winter on a beautiful day and hop into a fun race without even leaving the Upper Valley.  Registration will be on-site tomorrow and begins at 9:30. $10/racer but Lollipoppers are FREE. Lollipoppers (untimed racers, up to grade 2) go off at 11:00 with the rest of the timed age groups (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8) heading out afterwards. Skiers can ski the course before 11, but there will be no skiing besides the races after 11. Let us know you will be coming by putting your name on our Race Planning Doc here.
