Pre-Game Meals for the High School Team

Noah Families:

To our new families - “Welcome.” To our returning families - “it’s that time of year again.” Can’t you just smell the football season in the air?

Let me take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Shelley Roberts - I will be coordinating the sandwich meals for the games. Coach Blankenship and Coach Gastelum like to provide the players with a quick meal before each game (JV and Varsity). It usually consist of sandwiches, fruit, and bottled water. There have been times where families have provided chips, cheese, and other healthy snacks, but we mainly ask that each family do at least sandwiches, fruit, and bottled water.

Many of you signed up at the parent meeting, but some of you were not available and I still need to get your names on the schedule. If you did not sign up, I’ve taken the liberty to insert your family’s name on the schedule. If for some reason, the date does not work for you, please let me know AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE so I can get it rearranged. Please do not wait until the game date to let me know that the schedule will not work for you.

I will send out an email notice every week. It will have the next two games, as well as who is bringing what. I’ll try to make it as easy as possible for you, all you need to do is put your food item in a cooler (put your name on cooler) and bring to the drop off place (the place where Coach Joe designates that the team will be leaving from). We will then transport the ice chests to the game site and return your cooler to your son after the game.

We are requesting that each family sign up for two sandwich slots, two fruit slots, and two water slots.

Sandwiches (20 per slot)
Please bring sandwiches fully made in labeled sandwich bags. Some players do not like condiments, so you may consider leaving a few plain. Some players do not eat pork, so keep that in mind, as well as some players have peanut allergies. So for those reasons, it is imperative that the bags be labeled.

Fruit (20 Pcs. per slot)
Some fruit that the players prefer are: bananas, grapes, apples, oranges. I realize it is difficult to buy a bag of apples/oranges that has 20 in the bag, so just cut them in half. A cluster of grapes in a sandwich bag works great.

Water (1/case per slot) Please bring the water iced down.

I am in the process of finalizing the schedule and will be sending it down via email within the next day or two. Again, take a look at where your name is on the schedule and let me know if it won’t work for you.

I will be sending all notices out through my email address. So if you have a blocker on receiving emails, please add me to your contact list. I also ask that you simply reply to my email acknowledging that you did receive the notice and that everything is okay. It is very difficult for me to have to call you to verify, so please make every effort to simply hit the ‘reply’ button to let me know.

DO NOT reply to any of the coaching staff or administrative staff (ie Danae Fayard, Cheryl Castles, or Rochelle Collingsworth).

Please add my email address to your contacts list, and if you have any concerns or questions, just let me know.

THANK YOU for all your help and support.
