- Last Call on the Survey! March 26, 2015I love this club! We are now at 70% participation on the survey. That is fantastic. We are going to close it up tonight, so if there are 6 more families out there that want to respond today to bring us to 80%, that would be lovely. If not, 70% ain’t bad. To complete the survey click here. Hope everyone is enjoying the coming of spring. See you on the trails in running shoes or on bikes! Ashley and Peter Continue reading →
- Wrapping up: Survey, Lost and Found, & Certificates of Participation March 25, 2015
Last call for survey responders!
We have heard from half of our skiers and received some really useful feedback (including suggestions for improving the pre-season information night, sign-in processes for lower grade levels, and coach feedback/communication with parents). If you haven’t responded to the survey yet, PLEASE take a few minutes and let us know what went well or could be improved! Click here for the survey!
Please claim your lost items:
Please let me know if any of these items belongs to you!
- 10 x 14 Pyrex pan (left at the banquet)
- New-looking pair of LL Bean child poles
- One black, red and yellow child pole
- Pair of adult black fleece gloves (no brand name)
- One black adult glove with black flower stitching (no brand name)
- Bracelet with cut & polished stones
Certificate of Participation:
I have Participation certificates for all of the children in the 1-day program (many were handed out at the end-of-the-year banquet). If your child didn’t receive one, please let me know if they would like their certificate and I’ll get it to you. (Sorry, next year we’ll have a better and more timely process for this.)
Once again, thank you for all of your great feedback on the survey and for a great season!

A belated thank you to all the FS families for such a thoughtful end of the season gift. Peter and I look forward to finding something fun at Omer and Bob’s…most likely some ski gear but perhaps something for mountain biking season!? You guys were wonderful to think of us.
At this point we are up to 32/72 families who have responded to our survey! That’s a 45% response rate! Right on! Anyone else? Anyone? Anyone? We are striving for at least 57 families to respond this year. Help us make this goal! Go to this CORRECT LINK and let us know what you think.
Cheers,
Ashley and Peter
- Whoops…Here it is! March 20, 2015
All,
DESPITE our mistake of having two links, one of which was incorrect and brought you to the wrong survey on the “final” email, 17 families figured out how to respond. Thank you! And thanks to those who pointed it out! It was the “click here” link in our last email that brought you to the correct 2&3 Day Program Survey.
So, we are at 17/72 families…24%…keep it coming…be part of the 80%!
Here is the link again. Keep those responses coming.
Thanks for your patience!

- End-of-Season Survey – PLEASE RESPOND! March 18, 2015
Dear 1-day a week families,
On behalf of our coaching team, thank you for a wonderful season! It was a pleasure to be on the snow with your children this year and to welcome so many new families to the Ford Sayre nordic program. I loved that we were able to bring together over 120 members of our community at the end-of-the-year potluck. What a great way to celebrate the successes of our skiers! We are so proud of the progress they made over the course of the season.
Thank you to the many volunteers that made our 1-day program so special. In particular, I want to thank my other lead coaches – Tracy, Kirsten, Susan, and Helena, our assistant coaches, and the myriad of volunteers who helped with sign-in, KAST, snacks, etc! I want to send a special thank you to Beth Simpkins (who found a way to distribute hot chocolate to over 120 children on a weekly basis) and to Susie Matter (who created a great set of activities to entertain our children (at tables!) during the end-of-the-year celebration)!
But now – we need EVERYONE’s help. Please complete our END OF THE YEAR SURVEY!!! We DO want your feedback, as we will use it to set goals for next season and to understand what went well this season. We challenge you to help us achieve at least 80% participation in our survey!
Please give us suggestions on how we can create a really fun learning environment! We want to hear about your delights, your disappointments, and your suggestions for making things better.
WHAT DOES IT TAKE?
- The survey should take less than 5 minutes to complete!
- Survey responses are anonymous (unless you want to add your name so we can follow-up)
- So, do it now! It is easy, and we WILL USE your input to strengthen the program! Help us out by clicking here! Thank you!
OTHER NOTES:
- Lost and found: I still have items in my lost and found (pyrex baking dish, pair of black fleece gloves, a bracelet, a yellow/red ski pole). Let me know if they belong to you!
- Ford Sayre Nordic Committee: Our next Ford Sayre nordic committee meeting is this Thursday (March 19th) at 7:00 pm in the Murray Room of the Howe Library. Committee meetings are open to the public – and we encourage you to come!
- What’s next? E-mail communication will resume in early fall as we close in on ski swaps and the opening of the 2015-2016 program registration.
Thank you again for a fantastic season!
