Memorial Day Parade

The boys team will be riding in the Hamilton Memorial Day Parade.

We need to someone to get something for the guys to ride on. A hay wagon and truck or tractor would work out very well. Anything else that will fit 25 guys will work as well. Let me know if you come up with something. The transportation will need to be lined up on the west side of the football parking lot by 8:00 am on Monday.

We also need a couple of guys to take care of getting enough candy for the team. If you are willing let me know and I will get you some cash to get the candy.

All swimmers and divers need to meet at the parade line up by 8:30 am Monday. Please wear your Hamilton Swimming and Diving gear.

State Champ Rings, Tulip Time, Age Group

The Josten's rep will be in next week Tuesday, April 28 before school (starting at 7:15 am) to size people for State Champ rings. She will have order forms available at that time as well. The cost will be around $150. There is a picture of what our rings and design will look like in the high school office (ask Connie where it is and she will point you to it). You are not required to get a state champ ring but we are making them available for those that want to purchase them. If you are planning on buying a ring, please be there Tuesday before school to make sure that you get sized properly and get an order form.

We have been invited to participate in the Saturday Tulip Time parade. I think that it will be a fun experience. We need to have something to ride on (either a couple of cool cars or a haywagon or something fun). If you have an idea and the means to make it happen let me know. I will have more specifics as far as time frame, etc. later.

The summer age group calendar is posted on the pool's webpage. I am hoping that we will have a guest coach that will be able to start working with all the varsity swimmers on Tuesday, May 26. I will not be able to coach you until Wednesday, June 3. If you have the means...you should be swimming this summer as much as possible.

State Champ T-Shirts

The school store has State Champion T-Shirts available for sale. They are black shirts with a very sharp design. The shirts are $10 each and are available to anyone that would like to buy one. You can stop by the high school office during normal school hours to pick one up. I also have a couple of each size at the pool office. They are available in sizes Small through 2XL. All proceeds will benefit the Hamilton Swimming and Diving programs. Thank you to Mr. Stoel for putting the order together.

Pizza, DVD's, etc.

I am looking forward to some Fricano's Pizza tonight. I'll see everyone there at 6:30 pm.

If you would like to buy a DVD of the pep assembly and the video that was shown during the pep assembly, you must stop by Mr. Behnke's room and drop off $4 by this Thursday, March 26.

Today, I took five of our state team around to all of our elementary schools. What a great experience this was. I think our guys had as much fun as the elementary kids did. It was great to see how much the kids looked up to our boys. I hope that what we said and how we carried ourselves this past season has a positive impact on the kids that we saw today.

Pictures and Video for slide show

WOW!!!! I still don't think that it has fully sunk in what our boys have accomplished.

If you have pictures please send them to Mark Behnke at mbehnke@hamiltonschools.us . If you have video please burn to disk and bring it to the high school as soon as possible Monday morning. If you do not have the ability to put the video on disk, they have the ability at the high school to transfer it to digital media so feel free to bring in videos on tape as well. I will be working with Mark to put together a slide show for Tuesday morning. The more we have the better it will be.

We'll see you at the high school for the assembly at 8:45 am and at the middle school cafeteria for our celebration at 6:30 pm.

Have a great rest of the weekend.
