It’s hard to believe but we are moving into the final stretches of the season with just our championship meets remaining! Here’s a few items/events to keep in mind.

1. Senior rec pasta dinner tonight at 6:30 PM at the MAC. All athletes plus only senior parents are invited.
2. Athletes will be given pink shirts today at practice or at the pasta dinner. If you want any additional shirts for parents/fans and didn’t order already they are $10 each and please text Michele Unice at 412-780-2323.
3. Service project: Clean up at Gilfillan Farms will be held Saturday October 18 beginning at 9:30 AM (corrected time) and will last about 1 hour.
4. Banquet- Thursday October 30 at the Crowne Plaza, 6:30 PM arrival. Please see a separate email arriving soon regarding RSVP and payment for the banquet. We look forward to celebrating the season!
5. For some athletes, tomorrow’s Mingo meet will be the final meet of the season. Some athletes will continue on through Tri-States next week, and the final group will continue through WPIALS. Boosters will be collecting locker name plates for athletes as they wrap up their season. Seniors will be gifted their name plate at the end of season banquet. All other grades please have your nameplate available in the locker room or turn it in to boosters if you are finishing your season, and boosters will hold them for next year.
6. Seniors may keep their black warmup top if desired, or turn in to boosters if they do not want to keep it. All other grades should plan to keep their warmup top safe for use next season. A couple of athletes are missing their tops. Please see if an extra has made it to your house mistakenly. All tops are marked with a number and initials of the assigned athlete so you can verify if it’s the right one. Email boosters if you are unsure.
