Shell Yeah Turtles: Final Rose Cup Reminders Plus Summer Planning and News!

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 18:27:24 GMT

’Twas the night before Rose Cup, caps lined up with care,
With suits, bags, and snacks all packed up by the chair;
The players carb-loaded, then climbed into bed,
With fast breaks and goals dancing loud in their heads.

“Be there 45 minutes before game time,” the mantra so clear,
No rushing, no chaos when game time is near;
So sleep up, hydrate, and dream of the win.
Tomorrow it’s go time… Turtles dive right in!

Final Rose Cup Reminders:

News you Can Use:

The Mt. Hood pool that was planned for JO Qualifiers is not going to be done with construction in time for the scheduled games in June. This means we will need to be flexible with where and when the JO Qualifiers end up. Keep a close eye on communications if your turtle is JO-bound.
We have a new admin starting Monday, April 27 ^th ! As we hand things off to our shiny, official new admin, Dan, we appreciate your continued patience and trust that it may be slow, but it will end up right. I’ll be honest, getting to know more of you and seeing how unhinged the signature block can get before someone asks if I’m ok have been highlights, and perhaps the new admin will let me jump on now and again and cover for him. But after the transition, I’ll be returning to my natural habitat: making newsletters, representing all of you as a Turtle Board Member and cheering for our Turtles whenever parents who understand the rules tell me to.
The website transition team is working heroically behind the scenes and we are manifesting Summer Session signups on the new platform. However, if your summer calendar looks anything like this temporary admin’s, you have one free 12-minute window on July 28 at 3:40pm and the rest is a full-contact scheduling sport featuring camps, carpools, and emotional support iced coffee. So before the last sliver of your sanity gets double-booked, below is the draft summer schedule for planning, plotting, and preparation.

Here are some reasons to make blogging part of your regular routine.

Blogging is an easy way to engage with site visitors

Writing a blog post is easy once you get the hang of it. Posts don’t need to be long or complicated. Just write about what you know and do your best to write well.

Show customers your personality

When you write a blog post, you can really let your personality shine through. This can be a great tool for showing your distinct personality.

Blogging is a terrific form of communication

Blogs are a great communication tool. They tend to be longer than social media posts, which gives you plenty of space for sharing insights, handy tips and more.

It’s a great way to support and boost SEO

Search engines like sites that regularly post fresh content and a blog is a great way of doing this. With relevant metadata for every post so search engines can find your content.

Drive traffic to your site

Every time you add a new post, people who have subscribed to it will have a reason to come back to your site. If the post is a good read, they’ll share it with others, bringing even more traffic!

Blogging is free

Maintaining a blog on your site is absolutely free. You can hire bloggers if you like or assign regularly blogging tasks to everyone in your company.

A natural way to build your brand

A blog is a wonderful way to build your brand’s distinct voice. Write about issues that are related to your industry and your customers.

We are excited to announce the grand opening of our new 50,000 sq ft indoor training center.

Make a list

Lists are great ways to stay on track. Write down some big things you want to accomplish and some smaller things, too.

Check the list regularly

Don’t forget to check in and see how you’re doing. Just because you don’t achieve the big goals right away doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.

Reward yourself

When you succeed in achieving a goal, be it a big one or a small one, make sure to pat yourself on the back.

Think positively

Positive thinking is a major factor in success. So instead of mulling over things that didn’t go quite right, remind yourself of things that did.
