Athletic Banquet

SWC’s Athletic Banquet is Tuesday June 10 at Club Capri in Thorold.
Doors open at 5 pm and dinner starts at 5:30.
Dress is semi-formal.

All rowers who paid their $20 athletic fee in the fall have a ticket waiting for them – and this is most of our rowers. Please have your child see Mr Perron for their ticket. Bulldog Awards for all teams – plus one for each of our rowing programs – and Male and Female Athlete of the Year (Junior and Senior) will be presented at the banquet.

This is an exciting and fun night. Hope that all of our rowers will be able to attend!

Registration

There are numerous SWC rowers who have not yet completed their registration for either SCRC, RCA or both.

Athletes who are not completely registered cannot participate in CSSR. My deadline for registering our crews for this national tournament is Tuesday May 27.

I ask all families to be sure that their child has registered with both associations asap. I have posted a list of names of students on my office door and on the rowing board outside the gym. There are athletes from every program on this list.

Please remind your child to check the list for their name. If their name is on the list, they MUST complete their registration immediately to avoid huge disappointment.

Mother’s Day Regatta

Wasn’t Sunday a wonderful day to row and be on the island? Perfect conditions for most of the day, hot sun and cool tail-wind. Our new Bulldog Tent was well stocked and appreciated by the athletes, coaches and parents who stopped by. Thank you to Angela and Andrea who organized the food and refreshments and kept the food flowing throughout the day.

Oh yes – the results! So proud of our bulldogs who qualified 13/15 boats for the finals and came away with a bunch of medals. Most notably:

Sr Women’s 4 – Gold
Jr Women’s Single – Silver
Sr Men 72 kg 8 – Bronze
Jr Men 8 – Bronze
Jr Women’s 8 – Bronze
Jr Women’s Quad – Bronze

The hard work is paying off Bulldogs. Keep it up!

Tag Day Schedule

Thank you to all athletes and parents who are participating in Tag Day tomorrow. It is an important fund-raiser for the SCRC high-school program, and therefore, for our rowing program. The schedule can be found in the link below.
Athletes should wear school colours – and rowing swag if they have it.

As well – students can use this time towards volunteer hours! I have run off some sheets specifically for this. Have you child come to Guidance on Monday to get one.

The SCRC will collect the boxes from the athletes at the end of the last shift. Boxes are NOT to go home with the student.
Please call me if there are any issues (289) 696-3994
