I would like to leave this list. I clicked on the link below and found “leave or join list” option. Can you please advise me. I have not gone to tournament yet…and I would prefer not to receive 100’s of emails from those who have. In the beginning it was a useful tool to hear about strategy and rule changes but now the dialoged is no longer useful. 

 

Thank you

Hi Peggy,

 

Congratulations, I'm sure the kids were excited!  We'd be willing and able to help out with whatever you may need. I'll follow up in a separate note with some more details.

 

Michael

Dear Fellow Coaches,
First of all, I would like to apologize for talking about the next level of tournament when there are many teams who have not yet competed at the local level; however, our situation requires we gather information and make plans.

Background:  I am a volunteer at Walker-Jones Education Campus. The extraordinary news is our team won the Core Values Award and is advancing to Harrisburg on Dec. 5th & 6th.  The thought of such a thing NEVER entered our minds.  For the past three days reality has been sinking in and I have a couple of huge concerns: safety and funding.  I really don’t know who to turn to and then last night I thought of this group.

The FIRST YPP states: 2 – 4 students in a room, same gender and no adults unless they are a parent.  This sounds good but not really in our reality.  I really can’t imagine three rooms of children in a hotel, two hours away from home, who have never spent a night in a hotel.  This doesn’t really seem safe.

Second problem ~ finance.  Our school does not really have money for such an expense for ten students.  We really do not have a PTO. We are reaching out to central office but that doesn’t seem to be working out and I can not imagine funding being able to work through the DCPS system in less than three weeks.

A little more background ~ we have some outstanding parents but traveling by car is not possible. Taking off work for three days to attend is probably not possible.  Chipping in even $50 is probably not possible.  They will all want to help but . . . the reality . . .

Traveling back and forth is not really possible with because of the schedule and distance.

This is a huge honor and opportunity and we want to go to Harrisburg but I need your advice & experience.  How do you handle the overnights and where do you get funding?

Thank you!
Peggy
