Week of July 28 - August 8th

Welcome back!  I hope you have been working out and getting strong!

Sorry this has been so long in coming.  As you know, the schedule can be difficult to work out once school starts.  Thank you for your flexibility.

CTHS is hosting the administration team meetings this year.  This means that every administrator in the district will be in attendance at CT on Friday and Monday.  Because we are hosting such an important event, we were asked to welcome the district administration in the same way that we welcome the teachers on their first day.  This will be from 9:00 to 9:45am this friday.  I know it's short notice.  If you can't make it because you are out of town, please let me know ASAP.  But it's important that if you are here you attend.  We need to make a good showing.  Because it's short notice, I will offer 1 full community service point for those who can make it.

Friday, August 1st - Admin welcome from 9:00-9:45am.  Wear Trail with white bow.  1 full point community service since it's short notice.  Please tell me ASAP if you are out of town.  Otherwise, please plan to attend.

**We only have 30 practices until our first competition.  That may feel like a LOT, but in the grand scheme of things, it is NOT a lot of time.

Other calendar notes:
August 5th is a BIG day - sally challenges, timed mile, chant test.  We have ribbon cutting to attend at the new elementary school at 5:45pm.  Details to come.  ALSO, payment #3 is due.  We are in the process of organizing another August fundraiser for September's payments.  Details to come soon.

Please continue to look at long range planning to make sure you are taking care of your practice schedule commitments.  Practice times will change through the season to accommodate our needs as a team.  It's important that you work outside obligations around cheer practice.

See you Friday morning at the Admin welcome!  I'm excited to get back at it!
