We are planning a Daytona trip for November, 2010.

We did put a committee in place over the weekend and we are still looking for a few more parents to join. The committee will decide on fundraising proposals & trip activities that will be given to the board for approval. We are going to start fundraising now to ensure there is plenty of time to raise the funds needed. We are estimating that we will need to raise approx. $700 - $800 per person.

We can take up to three 8th grade football players & any amount of 8th grade cheerleaders.

We are also looking for 7th grade Junior football players & cheerleaders, 2nd year Widget football players & cheerleaders that are interested in going. 1st year widget football players & cheerleaders are also welcome as you can start raising funds for the 2011 trip.

If you would like to join the committee, start fundraising, or have questions, please feel free to contact President Mark Mellenthin - 708-285-1452 or mellenthinfamily@comcast.net .

We would like to welcome Sean Bordeaux as the Titan's new Secretary.

The events calendar will be handed out by the end of the week. Please make sure that your player/cheerleader gives you the hand out. If you do not receive it, please see your child's headcoach for a copy. We will also have it posted on the web site.

Thank you.

Please take the following steps to ensure your child(ren) are ready for practices & games when it is hot outside.

1. Make sure you child(ren) are in an air-conditioned envrionment for 2 hours before arriving to practice/game. This will give their bodies enough time to cool down from any activities that they had been participating in earlier that day.
2. Make sure they drink plenty of water starting 2 hours prior to practice. This will prevent them from dehydrating during practices/games.
3. Make sure they bring fluids with them to practice. Water, gatorade or propel are acceptable.

Inform your child(ren) if they start feeling sick at practice or a game that they tell their coach immediately. 

Practices will be canceled if a heat warning is issued by the National Weather Service.

You will be notified by your child's headcoach should practice be canceled due to weather conditions and/or any other reason. If you are not notified then consider practice is still scheduled.

If bad weather, such as lightning, occurs- please return to the field for your child(ren). We do not have any facilties for protection from a lightning storm. To see the Titan's lightning policy, please click onto the handout below.

Did you know:
Out-of-pocket charitable contributions. It’s hard to overlook the big charitable gifts you made during the year, by check or payroll deduction. But the little things add up, too, and you can write off out-of-pocket costs you incur while doing good works. Ingredients for casseroles you regularly prepare for a nonprofit organization’s soup kitchen, for example, or the cost of stamps you buy for your school’s fundraiser count as a charitable contribution. If you drove your car for charity in 2007, remember to deduct 14 cents per mile.
