Week of Nov 20 - Nov 30

Hello, Cheer families!

Oh, my!  We are getting busy!

You should have gotten a tumbling/nationals deposit invoice handed out at practice on Monday and an invitation to our holiday celebration for Saturday, December 7th.

I sent an email and a remind101 regarding a pre-nationals meeting for tomorrow, November 21st.  Notice is short, but we need to get the wheels rolling and get initial questions asked and answered.  If you can't make it, please be sure to email me and let me know so that I can get you the information.

*There is a pending schedule change to the Eaglecrest boy's basketball game.  If your group is on that game, please be ready to make a schedule switch.  I'll let you know when I do what the change is.  

Still waiting on bag damage photos if you have them!

(Still) no word on our floor time for competition on Saturday.  I will get it to you in a remind101 as soon as I get the information.  Neither JV or Varsity has a schedule at this point.

We have a HUGE game on Saturday at 1pm.  If we win, we will be playing for the State Title next Saturday, November 30th (this is the Saturday AFTER Thanksgiving).  Depending on our mat time for Saturday, plan on arriving at school at noon for a lunch provided by athletics!

We will be doing fundraisers for Nationals - each fundraiser must go through an approval process, which takes time.  If we provide a service-style fundraiser, it might pop up on the calendar quickly.  Just a heads up.

Preliminary State Information:  Transportation for your cheer will be provided to the Coliseum but must find a ride home.  If this is your first experience with State, it's a long day.

We need a parent volunteer to head up the end-of-season banquet.  I'd like to set it for March 10th pending Basketball Playoffs.

I'm beginning to work up the summer schedule for next season for families who are planning vacations.  Plan on a very heavy practice schedule in June and August with a long break for July.  

Here is the schedule for the remainder of  this week and next week:  

Wednesday: Practice 3 - 5
Thursday: Practice 3 - 5
Thursday:  Preliminary Nationals meeting @ 6pm in room 152 - if you are planning to go but cannot make the meeting, please email me directly so I can get paperwork to you.  Sorry about short notice.
Friday:  Non-optional Team bonding 3 - 4:30
Saturday: ????? Spirit for change.
Game VS. Valor @ Legacy - arrive at 12pm for a 1pm game time.  If we don't have lunch, we can arrive at 12:20.
Sunday:  NO ATHLETE CONTACT
Monday:  Peak
Tuesday:  Practice 3-5 - (Team bonding to follow?)  Possible?
Wednesday:  No school/No practice
Thursday:  Happy Turkey Day!
Friday:  Black Friday Shopping!  We will try to get approval for a Black Friday "Day Care" fundraiser for nationals.  If we can't get approval, plan on one for an upcoming December Saturday.
Saturday:  STATE TITLE GAME.
