Arapahoe Boys Swim & Dive Team Newsletter - Volume #5
Week of March 18th

Hello Swim & Dive Athletes & Families,

First, we want to THANK YOU all for your help at the meets, feeding the swimmers, volunteering where needed, and your willingness to share the responsibilities of the team. It is a small team, and your efforts are very appreciated!

Team pictures are today. The form is attached if you missed it in last week’s communications. Bring the form today to pictures after school in the pool area.

We also have a new meet with Heritage added to the schedule at AHS this Thursday. Since it is last minute, please check out the jobs on swimtopia that need to be filled. We also have a Modern Market Team Fundraiser that day—go before or after the meet for dinner and 30% will go back to the team. More information below.

Heart of the Warrior Scholarship: Seniors—our booster club offers a $500 scholarship to one deserving senior who has the “Heart of a Warrior.” Learn more here. Senior applicants must submit the following to Kim Gayeski by April 19^th so the board has time to review the submissions:

• A statement from the athlete applying for HOW stating:
• “What it means to be a Warrior” to that swimmer/diver personally
• How he has demonstrated leadership as an athlete and student to the team, coaches, and parents
• How he has contributed to or has improved the culture of their AHS team

Practice will resume the remainder of the week from Wednesday through Saturday (3/27 – 3/30) from 8:30 – 10:45am. And there is a meet the week of Spring Break on Thursday March 28th.
