Homecoming Parade

The Boys and Girls Swim & Dive teams are planning their float for the Homecoming Parade. This year’s parade theme is Halloween and the float theme will be pirates. Decorating will take place at the Krussow house (6609 W. 102nd Street) at 6:30 pm on September 21. If you have any decorations or supplies – markers, streamers, poster board, etc please plan to bring them. Team captains will reach out via Groupme / Band with more details. We will have pizza for those who help decorate.

The Homecoming Parade is scheduled for Friday, September 23. Parade participants will be released from their 7^th hour at 12:45pm to report to the back parking lot to join the float.  The parade will start around 1:30, with a Pep Rally in the Stadium at the end. 

Thank you Gellhaus Family for volunteering your time, truck and float bed for the parade. For those who do not know, we are the parade reigning champions….no pressure!

Let’s win the parade again!

Band

The Boys and Girls Swim & Dive team each have their own BAND group (app). If you have not joined, please email the Booster Club for an invite or ask your student to add you to the group.

Booster Club Volunteers

For both the Boys & Girls’ teams the booster club is spearheaded by upper classman parents. We are looking for Freshman and / or Sophomore parents that would be willing to shadow Booster club parents in the 2022-23 school year.

Swim & Dive Clinic

Mark your calendars! The next clinic will take place the morning of Saturday, December 3. We are excited to be adding a dive portion to the morning. More information to come.

In order for us to get our suits in time for the first meet, we need to order them by 11/8/21! Please go to the team store to place your orders. If you are unsure what size to get, you can get fitted at SwimQuik (8693 Bluejacket, Overland Park, KS 66214). Email Robyn Barreca at jhawkmama@gmail.com with any questions. Please spread the word to others about our deadline.
