Hello, cheer families!
Please thank Kelly Schauls when you see her for getting together our group flight for Nationals! We got a loan for our deposit from athletics to secure the deposit early to save money on flights! Next steps will be:
1 - continue with Nationals fundraising. (we won't have a final total for nationals until we get a bid and a hotel information packet. Ballpark is around $1200 all-inclusive but our flight will leave Thursday and return on Monday.) Remember Broncos games are an option and we will start talking in a few weeks about doing a sponsorship letter, etc. Part of our kid clinic money will go to reducing cost of Nationals, too. The other part is going to mats.
2 - Get the bid!
Speaking of fundraising - our cookie dough money will be DUE on August 29th. Please bring order forms and checks on that date. If you haven't texted your number of boxes sold to Sierra's Mom, Krista, please see the remind101 for her phone number and do that. We will do another text update next Tuesday.
We will be getting a big team vinyl poster photo to hang in the commons! Our photo date is tentatively scheduled for Friday, August 29th. That's a VERY busy day for us. See details below.
Uniforms and warm-up orders were placed two weeks ago and they are being made right now. Thankfully we have some Saturday games so we won't get cold if the warm ups aren't in on time. Custom orders take some time.
