Hello, Cheer Families!
Please check your email regarding an important financial cost correction. If you have any questions, please feel free to email or call.
Here is the week upcoming!
Friday, Aug 8: Practice 8-10:45, Pedi party team bonding from 10:45-12pm. The pedi party is part of a personal fundraiser - 20% of what you purchase goes to your personal account! You do not need to feel obligated to purchase, but if you do, part of the money comes back to you. Either way, you get a pedi for free! Remember to bring a hand towel that can be used on your feet and some cash/check/credit to spend on makeup/face wash/eye makeup remover/pedicure stuff! You can purchase pedicure supplies or any other makeup or skincare products. This is being done through Mary Kay. At a minimum, I swear by the eye makeup remover. Just my two cents. ;)
Again, please know that our practice times are not static. The schedule has been pretty much secured through at least Fall Break. If you have a job or other commitments, it's important to look ahead on the calendar for start AND finish times before turning in your work hours to your boss or agreeing to other commitments. There are days we don't begin until 4:15 or 4:30, which means we go late. There are days on the calendar when we look like we start at 3 and it's easy to assume that we have practice until 5:30, but we are actually scheduled until 7. Once school starts, the practice schedule doesn't often change last-minute, but it does require that you look at starting and ending times on the calendar to plan outside-of-cheer commitments. When we start late in the day, we go later into the evening, and when we have full gym space due to volleyball being away, we capitalize on that precious time. Please make sure you click on the start times to know when the scheduled finish time is for a practice. Please also know that if practice times get shuffled, it's likely due to outside influences. If we get shuffled due to an outside influence, the coaching staff will weigh the need for practice against the inconvenience of the time change and decide accordingly. It's not easy to shuffle practice times last-minute, and we only do it when we absolutely have to.
FALL BREAK: Our first comp will be on the Saturday that begins Fall Break and our second comp will be on the final Saturday ending Fall Break. The second Saturday is our Pueblo Regional where we make our first attempt at a bid to Nationals. It's a CRITICAL comp. We also have playoff games during that time. If you know you will not be available to practice during fall break or attend either comp, I need to know now so I can plan our comp team accordingly.
