Marlins,

We are so grateful for all the support the team received through our Swim-A-Rama and 4th of July Bake Sale. The swim team uses these funds to pay for things special purchases like our new digital event/heat counter, which even shows the swimmers’ times. Our next big purchase is a new team shed to replace the one that is falling down, which we will get in after the bathroom construction is done. We also use these funds to pay for social events, t-shirts, end-of-season awards, goodie bags, and JSSL league expenses such as costs associated with our Champs meet. For our Swim-A-Rama, please also see below for who gets to throw pies in the Coaches’ faces at our Pep rally and the results of who swam the most laps.

4TH OF JULY BAKESALE

Big thanks go to Cody Keffer and Allison Frisbee (and her mom) who were exceptional co-coordinators of the Bake Sale, which raised around $1400 - wow!!. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped sell the goods, especially to our CIT helpers Andrew, Sloane, Bianca, EJ, and Naomi who were excellent sales representatives for the team. We’d also like to thank everyone who supported the sale through baked goods, paper products, or just by buying something delicious to enjoy with your lunch. Thank you!!
