Feed My Starving Children Event

Hello,

Thanks to all families for being willing to contribute to this event. We are still interested in adding any parents that would like to come and volunteer with us after fall field day.

If you would like to come and join us for the event, please let me know. It would be great to have a few more adults with this large group and it should be a fun time working for a great cause.

One thing to note is that students will need to be driven from the Lexington-Diffley complex at 2:00pm rather than Trinity School.

Here are the details:

Drivers:
Boys Drivers - Berns (3), Dourgarian (7), Sommer (4), Kranz (4), Schoen (3)
Girls Drivers - Balsbaugh (2), Carlson (3), Kehl (5), Neil (6), Tallarini (5), Brewer (6)

Directions:
From Lexington-Diffley Athletic Complex to FMSC - turn left onto Lexington Avenue and go north for 3 miles, turn right onto Lone Oak Road going east, pass Neil Armstrong Blvd and then take the first right into the industrial area and go to the far east side of the business building straight ahead.

From FMSC to Trinity - turn right onto Lone Oak Road going east from the FMSC parking lot, take that to Dodd Road and go north (take a left), stay right on Dodd Road through the 55/149 split, turn right (east) onto O'Neill Drive, take that about one mile to Trinity.

Adult Workers: Jesse Schoen, Kim Kelly-Sommer and drivers
(If you are driving for the event, we are expecting you to help be an adult chaperon for food packing...please let me know if that will not work out for you.)

Schedule:

1 - Arrive at the Trinity Fall Field Day site (Lexington-Diffley Athletic Complex in Eagan) at 1:45pm. We will meet in the parking lot to the south of the athletic fields off Lexington Avenue.

2 - Fall Field Day ends at 2:00pm, we will drive students to the Feed My Starving Children location (990 Lone Oak Road, Suite 160 Eagan, MN).

3 - Participate in the 2:30-4:30pm training and work shift with the cross country team.

4 - A quick meet recap from the Private School Championships outside FMSC.

5 - Transport students back to Trinity after the meet recap...leaving FMSC at roughly 5:00pm, to be at Trinity by 5:30pm.

If fall field day is moved indoors at Trinity School, we would then transport students from Trinity to Feed My Starving Children at the same times listed.

If fall field day is cancelled, we will have a normal cross country practice at Trinity School from 3:30-5:30pm as we would not be able to make the 2:30pm start time needed to participate at Feed My Starving Children.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Jesse

Trinity Cross Country 2013 Food for meets-

Just make sure the leads know.

The person whose name is in bold print I would like to be the point person for that meet. Please call them if you have a particular item you would like to bring, otherwise they will assign you an item so that all items are covered.

Suggested food items to bring: Enough for 48 athletes and 3 coaches.

Bread or buns- 51 can be white and or wheat on the smaller size. Not large hamburger buns. Or bread for 51 sandwiches. Bagels will also work.

Meat- for 51 can be ham, turkey, salami, what ever. If the slices are large please feel free to cut them in half.

Vegetables- Lettuce and tomato, not everyone eats these so enough for around 30 should be good.

Fruit- One or a combo of the following,  Do not bring everything  on the list for one meet. This is a very perishable item so please do not over buy. 
Seedless watermelon 2 feeds the whole team. ( I will have a cutting board and knife at each meet.)
Grapes washed and snipped.
Apples sliced.
Oranges quarted.
Banana’s cut in half or smaller. You may want to cut these as we go so we do not waste them.

I will bring a table to set food out on at the end of the meet. The coaches including myself are usually out on the course. Please feel free to set food out as kids are finishing running. We will remind kids to leave some food for runners who are finishing later in the day. I would like to ask that as parents we bring a snack for siblings, or ask that at the very least they wait until all athletes who are running that meet have finished and had a chance to eat. Then all are welcome to eat anything that is left over.

Thanks for your help in making Trinity CC a successful program!

Parent Meet Workers

Hello,

Thank you to all parents for your support and assistance to give these runners the best meet schedule we can and help run two of the best high school meets this fall.

We also tried to designate a girls parent worker for the boys race and a boys parent worker for the girls race - that's why you see two parents listed for any working spots that will occur during the race.

We still have spots to fill at our upcoming meets, as indicated by the empty lines.  Please let me know if you have not signed up to work, but would be able to help out for any of the needed spots.
