Pasta Party Schedule

Parents,

For those of you parents who are new to cross country, the pasta parties serve as an opportunity for the students to get together and share a meal/hang out the day before each of our meets. The family that hosts can expect ~25 students. I would like to try something a little bit new for the rest of our pasta parties this year. At the end of this post you will find a link to a google document that can be modified by anyone who has the link (I will also send it to parent email addresses later today or tomorrow). If all parents could sign up for one or a few of the different slots this would take some of the responsibility off of the students for volunteering each week and we can have a set schedule. This will also allow you as parents to sign up for the items and days that work best for you. Our most immediate need will be for this Wednesday before our Pre-Region Meet.

If you sign up to be a host, please include your address and phone number as well as the time you would like the pasta party to start (generally 5:00-6:00ish). If you sign up for sides you can send those with your athlete or drop them off yourself. You could also contact the host parent and see if they could use any other assistance. We have a great group of athletes on the team and this is a fantastic way to show your support. Thank you for all of your help and especially to those of you willing to open up your homes to the students. Pasta parties are a wonderful thing for the students and I remember how much fun they were when I was in high school. The team can provide the host family with paper products to use (if desired) and those will be sent home with the athlete the day of the party. Coaches will generally not attend the parties as it is intended to be for the athletes, and I see this as a great way for me to take step back and also get parents involved. Please let me know if you have questions/concerns about this process.
