OLL Fencing Week of November 30

 

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  For the upcoming week we will be practicing on Monday, Tuesday and Friday.  For Friday, Alex will be available to do some one on one work with each fencer.  Please remember to get in all of your required paperwork and fees especially any uniform items that you need ordered.  Before competitions begin in January everyone will need the complete uniform of Tshirt, socks and Jackets.

 

Any questions please feel free to contact me.  Also, please remember that fencing at Peekskill will resume next Saturday from 11:30-2:30.

 

Thank You,

 

Shannon and Alex

Fencing Starts Monday - 11/16/15

Sending a reminder regarding the beginning of practices this week.  We will meet in the school cafeteria from 3-5:00 on Monday, Thursday and Friday this week.  We will not have practice on Tuesday due to scheduling conflicts with Alex and I.  

 

Also, as you may have noticed the fees were increased this year.  This increase is to pay for busing to tournaments, dinners after tournaments and any necessary equipment.  However, please know that no individual who wishes to fence will be excluded if the fees cannot be paid.  Please contact either Alex or myself if the fees may pose a problem and we will work through that with you.

 

Also, we are in the process of arranging for scrimmages with Storm King School and will let you know details as they become available.

 

Please also try to attend classes at Peekskill Fencing Center.  These are given every Saturday from 11:30-2:30 and really are beneficial for the upcoming season and are free to Lourdes fencers.

 

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have at anytime.

 

Thank you for all your cooperation as we begin another great season,

 

Sincerely,

Alex and Shannon

OLL Fencing 2015-2016

Our 2015 season is about to begin.  Our first practice will be on Monday November 16th from 3-5 in the school cafeteria.  Everyone who attended the meeting was given all the paperwork required by the school to participate in sports so please be sure to bring that with you on the 16th.  Also, please be sure that the blue sports participation form has been handed into Mrs. McAllister the school nurse no later then Monday November 9th.  On the first day of practice we will be given a list of all athletes who are cleared to participate in sports and if your name is not on it you are not allowed to participate. For practice please where comfortable clothes, even if you want to just wear your gym uniform with sneakers.

 

Everyone also has been given our January Tournament schedule, please be sure your parents have received this paper.  These are mandatory events for all fencers.

 

There will be a small change to the practice schedule to accommodate Alex being able to spend more individualized time with the team, From November 13th until December 11th, Practices will be on Monday, Tuesday and Friday.  Also, please try to attend the Saturday training classes at Peekskill Fencing Center.  These are free to all of our Lourdes fencers and is a great opportunity to increase your skills, have some personal training and fence fencers outside of our team to see the different styles you will be facing in tournaments.  These classes are held every Saturday from 11:30-1:00 and 1:00-2:30.  If anyone is need of a ride we do put car pools together and will be more then happy to assist with driving.

 

Again, look forward to seeing everyone on November 16th and looking forward to a great season.

Warrior Spirit Day 9/25/15

I hope everyone had and enjoyable and restful summer.  As you may all know this coming Friday September 25th is Warrior Spirit Day.  As in the past we will be setting up a table and selling snacks and drinks to the students.  This is a great fundraising opportunity and last year in just 2 hours made almost $500.00.  We are asking if anyone is available to volunteer to help with setup, sale and clean up for that day and also for donations of drinks and snacks.  Last year we found that the Gatorade, PowerAde, Water and any individual wrapped snacks sold very well.  If you are able to volunteer or donate if you could please send me an email as soon as possible that would be great.

 

Also within the next couple of weeks we will be having a meeting for all members of the team to discuss the upcoming season.  We have just received our Super Saturday schedule for January and will have copies available.  Prior to this meeting please go through your gear that you kept with you from last year, please label and bring with you your weapons and cords so that we can have them checked prior to the start of the season.

 

Also as with last year we are in need of at least 4 female fencers, please try to recruit and bring anyone interested to this meeting with you.  If we do not have at least 4 boys and 4 girls for each weapon we cannot compete in the league so this is very important.

 

And last, please remember that we really want everyone to come to Peekskill fencing on Saturdays, most of these teams we will be competing against have been fencing year round.  These are free classes to Lourdes students and are very beneficial.  We will be starting the car pool again for anyone who is need of a ride, please email me and we will work that out.

 

We look forward to hearing and seeing everyone very soon and look forward to another successful season.

OLL Fencing Team Community Service Project Results

Thank you all for a fantastic day at the Super Stop & Shop in Wappingers Falls last Sunday, March 15th for our OLL Fencing Team Community Service Project.

The turn out was phenomenal! Thank you Fencers and all parents for helping this day happen.

We spent 4 1/2 hours collecting food for St. Columba's St. Vincent De Paul Food Pantry in Hopewell Junction. We delivered approximately 35 cases of non perishable food and $155 cash to the food pantry by 3:00pm. 

We had a very successful day and we were able to surpass last year's totals.

Hope everyone enjoyed the day!

Thanks Again!

Dana Bortz

Fencing Dinner this Sunday, March 22, 2015

Just a reminder anyone planning on attending the fencing dinner on Sunday needs to hand in the completed form with payment by Wednesday.  I have to have a final count into the restaurant and as of this evening I only have seven fencers who have responded.  

 

Thank You,

 

Shannon Gauzza and Alex Acevedo

Great job today OLL Fencing!  We collected 25 cases of food and $155 for the St. Columba food pantry today!

Service Project 3/15/15 -- Fencing Dinner 3/22/15

This coming Sunday March 15th is our Fencing service project.  We will be outside of the Stop and Shop in Wappingers Falls from 10:00-2:00 and then will be delivering the food collected to the St. Columba Food Pantry.  Again this is a mandatory event required by all Varsity sports teams at Lourdes.  

 

Any parents that can assist with transporting the collected items would be very much appreciated.  Please let Mrs. Bortz know at danabortz@frontier.net

 

Also, I will be emailing the form regarding the upcoming fencing dinner scheduled for Sunday March 22nd at 5:00 in the evening at Copolla's on Route 9 in Poughkeepsie.  The price will remain as last year $20.00 per person.  I will also have forms available for pick up on Sunday.

 

Thank you to everyone for your cooperation, it has been difficult trying to plan the dinner do to an abundance of scheduling conflicts so apologize for such short notice.

 

Also, I have only received baby pictures from a few of our seniors, the video will be put together between this weekend and will be completed by Wednesday, if you still wish to have photos on the video bring them with you on Sunday.

 

Thank you,

Parade / Service Project / Fencing Dinner

Good Evening Everyone,

Just a few notes and reminders, the fencing team has been asked to March in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Wappingers Falls this Saturday March 7th, line up time is 12:00 with a 1:00 start.  It would be great if as many fencers as possible could join us.  We ask that you please wear your fencing t-shirt and jacket for the parade.  

Also a reminder that our Fencing Service Project is Next Sunday March 15th at Super Stop & Shop on Route 9 in Wappingers Falls (same location as last year).  The times are from 10:00-2:00, this is a mandatory service project for all fencers, if you can only stay for an hour that is fine, if you need NHS hours and stay the whole day that is great.  We will also need anyone who can help transport the food we collect to St. Columba afterwards.

Lastly, the date for our dinner had to be changed, it is now going to be on Sunday, March 22nd at 5:30 at Cappucino's (also same location as last year).  Over the next day I will be sending out a form for your response, as it was last year the cost will be $20.00 a person which will be collected prior to our dinner and submitted through the school.  We hope that everyone can attend, it was not easy to get a date that worked for everyone.

We will continue fencing at Peekskill every Saturday from 11:30-2:30 and we will be starting to carpool again last couple of weeks have been a little crazy.

We look forward to seeing everyone soon and again please let me know ASAP about who will be joining us on Saturday, this should be a fun time.  Please send me a text message and let me know either way if you can make it or not my cell number is (845) 721-2761

Thank You,

Shannon and Alex
