Hey XC Families!
This year for our team swag the kids chose a simple crewneck sweatshirt. 
They look so nice that I wanted to put it out to parents and see if any of you would like to order one. Obviously this season is wrapping up, but it's a great way to show support for your amazing kids all year long and to have something nice to wear for next year's cross country meets! The pictures are attached so you can see what they look like. 
Pricing is dependent upon how many we order, but the maximum price would be $47. 
Please send me a text with your name and what size you want if you are interested. 
I am going to try to put in the order FRIDAY 10/20 at 5pm. 
Thank you!
