Hello Ford Sayre BKL parents,

This is a friendly reminder that our Family Skiway Hike is this Sunday, November 23, starting at 10:30am. This is an informal event that is often a lot of fun for Ford Sayre families. It includes participants from the 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day a week BKL programs (elementary and middle school age skiers), as well as the junior nordic team (high school age skiers). (Note: This is a family event, so please don’t drop your children off without a parent/guardian.)

We hope that you can make it!

Hello Ford Sayre BKL parents,

This is a friendly reminder that we have our annual Parent Information Night tonight, Thursday, November 20, at the Richmond Middle School auditorium. We’ll start at 5:00, and will be done by 6.

This is a great opportunity to learn about the program philosophy and approach, meet many of the people who volunteer their time to make the Ford Sayre program a success, and learn a few tips on how to keep your kids warm and happy during practice!

We hope that you can make it!

To all Families New to Ford Sayre Nordic this Year,

Please disregard the NENSA bit in our email earlier today. I realize that it may only work for families that have already had a NENSA membership in the past. I’m not clear on the whole thing, but I don’t think NENSA has entered the new Ford Sayre families into their system yet.  In registering for Ford Sayre, you already paid a NENSA fee, so PLEASE DONT PAY IT AGAIN! Past families should have no problem doing this.

Sorry for the confusion and hope you all aren’t pulling out your hair! We’ll let you know what to do once we get clarification.

See you tomorrow.

Hello 2 & 3 Day Families!

Welcome to our new email format. In an effort to simplify your lives (and ours), we are changing our communication system. You’re now receiving this email through our website. All emails, current and past, will be posted and archived on the site so you can reference them at any time.

We also encourage you to USE the site to answer your questions. Check out the menu at the left side of the Nordic, BKL 2&3 Day tab. Many of your questions are answered right there.

Before every practice, you’ll receive an email in the format below. It should show up on your phone looking the same way, so on funky weather days you can check it on your way to practice to see if anything has changed.

We rarely cancel practice. However, IF PRACTICE IS CANCELLED, it will be posted on the site in this location. The notice should also come to you as an email, but you should always check the site if you aren’t sure since the site will be real time.

We’re always here to field your questions and receive your comments. Let us know if we can help!

Ashley & Peter, BKL@fordsayre.org, (802) 649-2159

Information for Practice on: Thursday, November 20, 2014

Notes:

1. Parent Information night is tomorrow, Thursday, from 5-6 at RMS in the auditorium. Kathy Sabadosa will have all FS clothing for sale tomorrow night. Bring a check or cash.
2. We will have a last-practice-before-Thanksgiving celebration on Tuesday, 11/25 after practice.  There will be a fire, hot cocoa and yummy treats, so plan to stick around for a bit and enjoy. Please bring something to share (homemade or store-bought).   Let us know if you can bring something – we have over 100 kids in the program! Please e-mail Tracy. She can be reached at: tracyzuckerman@comcast.net  You may drop-off your contribution at 3:30pm or bring it to the party – come find us by the far end of the parking lot. Thanks, Tracy Zuckerman & Jane Phipps
3. If you have purchased one, Dartmouth Family Ski passes are ready! Please pick them up at the Occum Pond DOC House or at practice on December 9.
4. When you registered your child for our program, your child also became a NENSA member. NENSA has asked that we please make sure our skiers’ NENSA Club name is correct in their system. It should be “Ford Sayre”, NOT Ford Sayre BKL. This matters particularly if your child plans to race. See instructions below for making that change.
