| Athlete of the Week, September 6th |
Congratulations to Katie McLaughlin!
Katie has demonstrated a strong move up to the U17/19 Moguls program this summer by logging numerous hours on the water ramps at the Bald Eagle Lake, making immense progress with backflips, both on the trampoline and on water ramps. Even more exciting was Katie's ability to land a cork-7 on tramp having never before even tried one. Katie's hard work, determination, and openness to suggestions makes her a great example for her fellow teammates. We are very excited for Katie's first winter competing on the RMD circuit. Awesome work this summer, Katie!

| Parenting for Success: Budget |
There are no two ways about it, skiing and snowboarding can make a big dent in the bank account. But when finances are tight, there are smart things to spend
on and many other purchases that don't get much return on investment. For families just starting out on the journey, making smart decisions early can make it easier to support the greater expenses that come with the greater commitment into the high school years and beyond.
Here are some suggestions
to get the most for your money.
