Uniform Pick-up 
This is the last week to pick up uniforms, we will have available for pick up on Monday and Tuesday only this week. Elaine will need some help passing out the uniforms, if you can help, please see Elaine.
 
Birth Certificates & Missing Signatures 
If you did not turn in a copy of your child's Birth Certificate when you turned in your paperwork, we need that now.  We will be certifying our roster at the end of the week, athletes with incomplete packets will not be allowed to compete, so we must have all paperwork 100% Complete. We will be checking all of paperwork this week and will have a list by the end of the week of athletes who are not complete. 2014 Returning Track and 2013 Returning Cross Country athletes are ok, because we certified you for those seasons,  so this applies mostly to new athletes.

 
It is very important that your child signs in everyday. There are some athlete's who are subject to being dropped from the team because they are not signing in and we are not sure they are still participating with the team.
 
Be The Light 5K

Be the Light 5K is an exhilarating night time 5K along the beautiful San Francisquito Creek Trail in Santa Clarita, as we show support for families facing a teen/youth addiction crisis and raise funds for A Light of Hope.

 

A Light of Hope Support Center, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to providing healing and freedom for youth 14-26 years of age. They offer support-group and counseling options to serve the needs of individuals and families in recovery.

 

ALOH strives to facilitate, inspire, and celebrate personal growth and spiritual development

 

They're taking a stand against the devastation caused by drug and alcohol abuse and other self-destructive behaviors by raising much-needed funds to support the work of A Light of Hope in our community. 100% of the profit from registration fees and all donations will benefit ALOH.

 

As the sun sets on Santa Clarita, we will turn our headlamps and flashlights on for our run/walk along the San Francisquito Creek Trail. Beams of light will create a visual show of community support and love. Young people in recovery-along with moms, dads, and siblings-will witness this powerful reminder that they are not alone, and that where there is light, there is hope.

 

Please visit their website bethelight5k.org and register for this event.

 

This is not a Storm event, but we will be assisting this event by timing their event for them. come out and support this fun night time run.  

 
Sincerely,
