Hello, cheer families!
Here is the week upcoming:
You will get an email from captains for what to wear to practice each day. It is imperative we dress alike so coaches can see motions and timing errors.
Today: 9th BBQ - those who agreed to pass out kiddie flyers, be there - make it happen!
Friday, Aug 15: Freshman Simulated Day - no practice - Chelsea is working the carnival for her school, if you can help pass out kiddie clinic flyers.
Saturday, Aug 16: Practice 8-12. Captains, please make sure everyone is wearing the same outfit. Community service opportunity to follow until 2pm - email Lara Mills for details
Sunday, Aug 17: NO CONTACT
Monday, Aug 18: First day of school!!! You will get information about what to wear this day. Not dressing with the team will result in a no-dress suspension for the following game per the handbook. UE at 3:30pm
Tue, Aug 19: Practice 3-4 in the gym, 4-5:30 in the cafeteria.
Wed, Aug 20: UE at 3:30

We will be selling the white We Are CT T-shirts at the home opener on August 28th for the white out on September 11th !! If you haven't bought a shirt, buy one at this game so that cheer gets the money for it!!!! Shirts cost $10, $5 is the overhead, and then we get $5 for every shirt sold. All of this will go toward new mats for the team. The goal is to get everyone in the stands wearing this shirt at our games, parents and students included. JV cheers will sell the shirts at the game since varsity cheers will be cheering at the game, but if parents can stop by for a few minutes to check in, that would be very helpful.
We are currently looking at booking plane tickets for Nationals. If we get a bid to Nationals this year, we will go (barring any major team issues). We have a group flight ready, but unfortunately, the school can only process money for the athletes, not parents. Once we have a secured deposit on flights, we can give out flight information for attending parents to book. More details to follow shortly.
Cheerleaders - it is CRITICAL that you follow the CT dress code while at school. Keep this in mind as you do your school shopping. The handbook states no B's - breasts, bellies, backs, or booties. I do not want any calls from the deans or hear from teachers that you are dressed outside of the parameters of the dress code at school. They are tightening up on dress code violations this year, so if you got away with it last year, you won't get away with it this year. When in doubt, err on the safe side.
Also, you may have seen on the calendar that Corepower Yoga is doing a fundraiser for the new Mascot! They have a donation-based class on Sundays at 6pm. Take a yoga class and 100% of the proceeds go to the new mascot!
See you guys on Monday!
