BHSXC Week 10

 Hi Everyone!

A HUGE THANK YOU to all the parents who helped with yesterday's Joe O'Neill Invitational.  Donations, Shirt Sales, Concessions, Finish Chute, Clean-up...It takes a village and I couldn't have pulled it off without all of you!  I hope everyone is enjoying a well deserved day of rest after yesterday's meet.

A few announcements before I post our upcoming schedule:

Team Dinner Hosted by Ethan's Family:

When:  Monday October 19th immediately after practice

Where:  102 Nichols Avenue Wilmington, DE 19803

We are practicing at Bellevue on Monday so parents can pick up at the park by 4:30 and drop off your athletes to the dinner :)

Senior Recognition

We will be celebrating our Seniors at our last regular meet of the season this Wednesday October 21st when we race District rivals Concord and Mount Pleasant.  We invite all parents to join in honoring the hard work these seven seniors have put in over the years!  There will be light refreshments after the meet and a photo shoot with our Seniors and their parents.
