Jerome High School Swimming and Diving: Snack Schedule

We will be feeding swimmers & divers 8 times and swimmers-only 7 times.  I have put together a schedule and have assigned 2 families to each date.  The name that is starred is being asked to coordinate the 2 families.  Please review the schedule and if you are unable to bring snacks on your assigned day, please switch with someone else.  Handle this switch yourself by finding a day on the schedule that is convenient for you and calling the name that appears on that day to see if you can trade. Also, not all names were used this season so you can also find someone who was not scheduled.  I realize this might be a bad time of day for many families and I am more than willing to set up and serve for any groups that don’t have anyone that can make the 2:30pm time.  Just let me know and we can figure out the best way to get the snacks to me.

On your assigned day please plan to have the snacks set up at 2:30pm. We will be serving the swimmers from 2:45-3:00pm in the area in front of the trophy cases by the TV at the Recreation Center.  The Rec. Ctr. wants the kids to check in before they get their snacks, but be careful to only feed Jerome swimmers & divers!  The Rec. Ctr. does not think this will be a problem and says that the schools arrive at different times, but just be aware... There will be 2 long rectangular tables set up for us by the Rec. Ctr. to use at this location.

There are currently 31 swimmers and 18 divers on the roster.  If you are scheduled for a Monday, you should bring snacks for 49.  If you are scheduled for a Wednesday, you only need to provide snacks for 31.  Since the swimmers & divers have a limited time to eat (and might want to save a lot of the snack for later) plan to bring in items that will allow them to “Grab and Go”.  For this reason, individual bottles of water, chocolate milk and juices have seemed to work well for drinks.  Also, have brown paper lunch bags available so swimmers & divers can take items with them.

   Some food suggestions include: 

Bagels & cream cheese (Sam’s carries the individual servings of cream cheese)breakfast bars, granola bars, yogurt, bananas, donuts, muffins, grapes (cut in bunches and in baggies)  --- they really like anything--they are just hungry!! Be creative –Anything will work as long as it can be eaten standing up andon the go before heading to the pool or back to school. Please remind the swimmers & divers to clean up this area before they leave.  THE BUS DRIVER WILL NOT ALLOW THEM TO EAT ON THE BUS. Please email me if you have any conflicts ( jpease2@columbus.rr.com  ) or questions.    Many thanks to all of you in advance & here’s to a super season! Linda Pease   (733-0605)
