- Final Note from Ford Sayre 2&3 Day Program March 18, 2015
Dear 2&3-Day Program Families,
On behalf of our coaching and organizational team, thank you for a wonderful season! It was a pleasure to frolic on the snow with your children this year and to welcome so many new families into the fold. How amazing that we were able to bring together such a crowd at the end-of-the-year banquet! It is a testament to the sense of community so many of us feel as part of the Ford Sayre family, and what a great way to celebrate the progress and successes of our skiers!
But now – we need EVERYONE’s help. Please complete our END OF THE YEAR SURVEY!!! We really do care about what you have to say! The survey looks different this time around and has specific, multiple choice questions. We DO want your feedback as we use it to set goals for next season and understand what went well this season. Last year we had 30% participation. We challenge you to help get us to at least 80% participation this year! Bring it on!
WHAT DOES IT TAKE?
- The survey should take less than 5 minutes to complete! I promise! I completed one myself in 2 minutes 34 seconds with a stop watch running!
- 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:
- 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 when we have information regarding summer options. We will also be creating a tab on the site where you can find links to summer nordic training opportunities.
Thank you again for a fantastic season! We love being part of it!
Ashley and Peter
Feel free to give us a call if you would rather!

All
What a Festival weekend we had! In sunny weather 47 FS skiers participated in two races. Thanks to all who made the day possible – Head Coach Jay Davis, Grade Level Lead Coaches, Jonathan Chipman’s highly organized waxing crew, many, many helpful parents, and especially, our skiers, whose positive attitudes made us all proud.
- Although our official ski practices are over for the season, be assured that many eager families will be out on the snow as long as it’s there! Join other Ford Sayre families on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3:30 at Oak Hill for informal skiing that is not sponsored by the club.
- Our banquet is Wednesday from 5:30-7:00 in the Black Community Center in Hanover. Looks like we have 79 people coming so far. Please add your family today if you haven’t yet and let us know what you can bring and how you can help by going to this banquet planning doc.
- Please go to this form to let us know how far your children skied this season if they are interested in receiving a pin for Ski for K’s. Our past emails/posts have more about this program.
- Used skis! If you have some used skis that are too small for your kids and that you are willing to donate, we will happily relieve you of them at the banquet and will thank you profusely!

Thanks to everyone for a wonderful last practice. It is always a thrill to see the progress each skier has made over the season, and the 8th grade ceremony is the perfect way to end the season. If you weren’t able to be there, you can catch a glimpse in this video.
Thanks to Lars for being our photographer yesterday and to Jane and Tracy for providing delicious snacks.
We’ll see many of you at the festival this weekend and hope that everyone will continue to ski while the snow lasts!
With Gratitude,
Ashley and Peter
