Christmas Break Practices and Schedule for January

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!  This is just a reminder that we do have practice on Monday (12/29) and Tuesday (12/30) at Lourdes from 10:00 - 1:00 in the cafeteria.  If the doors are locked please walk around the back to the cafeteria doors.

Also, The Peekskill Fencing Center will be closed next Saturday January 3rd so there will be no classes.

Our first Super Saturday is scheduled for January 10th at Nyack.  Usual start times are 9:00 am with check in at 8:30 and it usually ends around 4:00pm.  With this being saidm the week we come back from break is crucial to make sure everyone is prepared for competition.

For the remainder of the month of January the schedule is as follows:

 

January 17th - Clarkstown

January 25th - Nyack Fencing Academy ( Tappan Zee)

January 31st - Ardsley

 

with a snow date of February 7th if needed.

 

These are mandatory competitions, all team members are required to attend each and every super Saturday.  These again are mandatory, there is no exception. 

Also for all new parents, there is no busing for these events so please advise if car pools are necessary so they can be planned well in advance of the scheduled events.

Thank You and we wish everyone a very Happy New Year.

FENCING CHRISTMAS PARTY 12/18/14

Hi Fencing Parents and Fencers,

We are having our annual Fencing Christmas Party this Thursday, December 18th, from 4 to 6pm. It will be held at school in the cafeteria.  We have 26 fencers this year! All parents are welcome to attend! 

We had a very successful and memorable party last year. We will be doing the same this year. It's a wonderful time to get to know each other!  Each Fencing Family is as being asked to bring in a appetizer/dinner dish or dessert to share. We have use of the kitchen so we can reheat any food.  So please place food that has to be reheated in a metal tray. Please label the food clearly Fencing Team and place it in the Cafeteria Kitchen if you are dropping it off in the morning or during the day. We will need some parents to help to set up the food so please let me know if you can come early. 

Please send me a return email with what you will be bringing so that I can coordinate the items. If you have any questions please call me 845-519-9712.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Thank you so much!

For the upcoming week, we will have our normal practice schedule on Monday 12/15 and Tuesday 12/16.  Hopefully, the athletic department will be able to reschedule our scrimmage with Arlington High School for Wednesday 12/17, at which time we will also have our team photos taken.  If anyone is in need of a new picture order form please let me know on Monday.

For Thursday, December 18th, we will have our practice from 3-4:00 and then we will be having our Fencing team Christmas party until 6:00.  All family members are invited to join the team for our celebration.  We are asking each member of the team to please bring a dish to share with everyone.  And please let us know (by emailing Shannon Gauzza at sgauzza@gmail.com) how many from your family will be attending so we can plan accordingly.

We have been in touch with the league and the Super Saturday tournaments are set for every weekend in the month of January starting on January 10th.  These are mandatory meets and all team members must attend.  We are not bused to these tournaments so, if needed, we will be putting together car pools.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions my cell phone number is (845) 721-2761 and my email is sgauzza@gmail.com

We look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday 12/18, and we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
