Announcing the BBCA Biggest Loser contest.  Starting next Monday (10/5/09) we will have a weigh-in for all volunteer participants in a Biggest Loser Contest.  Each week in front of the assembled school we will have weigh-in event with much cheering and hooting.  The contest will run all school year with the winner being the person with the highest over-all weight loss by percentage.  As of now the confirmed participates will be:

• Chris R. – A senior training for Marine boot camp when he graduates
• Brian Petro – cross country coach
• Brett Petro – PE teacher

More participants are welcome (especially teachers)!  Participants can choose if they only want their percentage loss/gain announced and not their total weight.  As of now our only prize is bragging rights, but I’m open to suggestions about that.   Of course players are encouraged to participate in Mrs. Petro’s PE and adult women’s work outs and Mr. Petro’s runs.  The contest will conclude on the last Monday of the school year.  Please note that anyone participating must do so under the supervision of their own personal doctor. 

Please contact me if you have any questions:  Brian Petro

I just updated the school calendar with all the practices for December.  Please note:

1)  We have a race coming up Dec 20th.  Everybody needs to be at every practice and put in 110% effort.

2)  I’ve scheduled practice on days when school is out sometimes.  Everyone needs to make every practice unless I receive 24 hour notice that you have a conflict.  With 24 hour notice I will accept pretty much any excuse.  With less than 24 hour notice I will only accept “emergencies” as legitimate excuses and I will determine what constitutes an emergency.

3)  We’re going to start having rain which will effect practices.  It is each runner’s job to check the online school calendar a half hour before practice to confirm that practice has not been cancelled.  If I am going to cancel practice I will update the calendar at least a half hour before practice. 

Please let me know if you have any questions:  Brian Petro
