J1/J2 Announcements

Fit Day is Sunday, September 12th from 10 am – 1 pm in the Jackson Gore courtyard.  It is a great place to see all of the coming season’s race gear and get your orders in at race pricing, which is a significant savings.  Several of the  coaches will be there to assist in proper gear selection.  Please consult one of us or a Ludlow shop that knows junior race before buying gear for your children.  If you cannot attend, please be in touch with your coach and they will help you can still get an order in at race price.

A number of you were unable to accept your trophies for this season (or 2008)… as a result, we have still have them!

I have dropped them off with the ladies in the Administration building and they are available for pickup there.  Administration is the office building with the ramp leading up to it (above Snow Stars).

Dear OMARA communty:

In conjunction with our conferences scheduled for this Friday, OMS will be hosting an open house social for parents from 3:00-5:00pm. This is a fantastic opportunity to view the school, meet teachers and administrators, and find out how OMS might be a fantastic match for your child’s continued athletic and academic development.

Appetizers, beer and wine will be available.  As we travel into the final weeks of the season let’s gather together and toast our children and for what they have accomplished and you, their parents, for providing them with this opportunity.

Best,

WENDY
