Wow! And so it begins....
Please remember to check the blog weekly! I update on Wednesdays if it's a "B" week, and Thursdays if it's an "A" week (tentatively as far as I know for my schedule for next year.)
Remember that there are two places to check blog - the calendar for long-range planning AND the weekly update. Please make sure you check BOTH each week, as things on the calendar crop up very quickly and somewhat unexpectedly from time to time. Again, if you see ANY time conflicts between the two, please send me a text so I can fix it.
If you haven't signed up for Remind101....you need to! It's a NEW remind each year, so returning athletes and parents need to re-sign up. text @1516varch (cheers), @1516varp (parents) to 81010 to sign up.
Roommates were announced for camp - get together with your roommate to decide on who will bring snacks and a fan. Theme for this year for Day 3 rally is "Shipwrecked". Again, we have a major evaluation coming up BEFORE the rally starts. We love the rally, it's a TON of fun, but our focus until the rally starts must be the evaluation. We add accessories, etc on the field, so no big costume changes or anything like that. However, bringing some eyepatches and striped socks and stuffed parrots and pirate hats and gold teeth would be awesome. If you would all like to dress the same, that's fine, but you guys organize it on your own.

If you don't have a ride, connect with an upperclassmen to catch a ride.
