It’s time to start thinking about Sectional Posters for ALL BOY ATHLETES!! We would like every male athlete who swam on the FCHS Swim and Dive team this season to have a poster!

Here are some things to know about these posters:
1. ALL swimmers/divers will have an individual poster made by their parent. This will hang in the school building during Sectional week. Posters are due by Feb 12TH at 4:00 pm.
2. The poster should be 14×22 in size. This is about 1/2 of a poster board. Please use this size poster. The custodial staff gets upset with us when the larger posters (due to their weight) fall during the night and cause the security system to trigger.
3. Feel free to take advantage of the FCHSSND Shutterfly website. Directions for getting on this site were in a different Team Pages email. We know there are limited pictures this year so feel free to use personal pictures or pictures from past seasons. The pictures don’t all have to include swimming.
4. Also, include stickers, favorite quotes, inspirational sayings, etc. to decorate your child’s poster. I have listed some instructions for viewing poster examples from the past. Find the directions below.
5. Don’t stress over this. Have fun with it! It’s one of the celebrations of the season that we all look forward to. Your child will love it!

Posters that are brought to the pool before the due date can be put on top of the lock box in the hospitality room. I will keep an eye out for these and make sure they are kept safe before I hang them in the school hallway on Feb 12th. I will send more info about that a little later.

Directions for finding example posters on Team Pages:
1. Go to the top of the Team Pages website.
2.Click on the MEDIA tab.
3. Select photos from the drop down menu.
4.When a group of albums appears, click on the album titled Sectional Poster Examples.
5. These are just examples of past posters. I hope these are helpful.

This is just the final reminder that Sectional Posters are being hung up at the high school on Saturday. We would LOVE to see all the females athletes have a poster to celebrate the end of the season.

If you are not able to come Saturday morning to hang your poster between 9:30-10:00, please make sure that it is dropped off at the school so that someone can hang it for you. Normally, blue painter’s tape works great for hanging and does not leave behind any residue. I will have some available but would love if you have some on hand- please bring!

You can put it on top of the lock box in the hospitality room (at your own risk) and I will make sure that it is hung. If you would like to hang the poster yourself, please have 1 family member come to do so.

Please reach out with questions.

If you have no more meets to compete in, please return your warmups ASAP. There will be a light blue tote just inside the pool doors. There is a $75 charge for warmups not returned.

From the athletic Department:
Tickets for tonight’s meet will be sold at the door. There are not digital tickets available.

It’s still 2 tickets per competing swimmer/diver, but you’ll just pay $6 at the door.

SECTIONAL POSTERS FOR GIRL ATHLETES
This is just another gentle reminder that Sectional Posters for Girl Athletes ONLY are due to the high school on January 30 at 9:30 am. Sectional posters for male athletes will be due right before their Sectional week…(about 2-3 weeks from now). A few parents have had some questions about these posters. Remember there are some examples of past posters under the “Media” tab on Team Pages.

The main thing to remember is that these posters are nothing to worry about. The athletes will LOVE them and enjoy seeing their teammates’ posters as well. Please refer to the announcement posted a few days ago about sizing of the poster and some other helpful hints.

If you would prefer,
1. I can hang your poster if you/your swimmer places it on top of the hospitality room lock box (at your own risk) before or on January 30
OR
2. You can come and hang the poster yourself on January 30 at 9:30-10:00 am in the glass hallway leading to the office. (I will be there to help and direct you where to go. Just come in the main athletic doors). Please have ONLY 1 family member come to hang the poster and then leave the building. We want to be respectful of the building rules.
