Parents,
I want to thank you for helping out and donating generously to our team dinners so far this year and signing up for many of the banquet responsibilities already. One are where we have been very deficient in meeting our league responsibilities is at the center meets. Miramonte is responsible for Finish Line help ( the head judge and chute facilitators). On the volunteer page of this website we have 8 positions available for each of the two Wednesday meets and for the DFAL Championships on Nov. 8. We had two volunteers sign up for the 1st center meet and one sign up for the second – clearly not enough. There are a couple of schools who mark the course, set up the finish chute, set up the packets with race #’s and course maps, and provide course monitors consistently every meet. We should be one of those teams that is consistently reliable because we have phenomenal support from our parents for their extra-curricular activities at this school. We should be the team that helps those teams that have fewer runners and thus fewer parents to help because we can. I am reaching out in this way to ensure we minimally have enough help on the 8th to meet our responsibility and ideally enough to help in other areas if needed. Thanks in advance for coming through when we need you to support your children as they finish off a great season.
