Happy Thanksgiving!
Yesterday marked our last practice before we return on Monday. We will be observing a no-contact from today through until next Monday. Everyone needs some important time away to reflect and regroup before State. (About time, right?) There are no required practice times from now until next Monday. If you choose to go to an open gym, please be careful! We can't afford injury, and let's not overlook the importance of resting your body during this time, too.
I have the details for JV State - varsity athletes need to plan to be there all day and dress alike so we are easily recognized. We need 2 parent volunteers in 1 or 2 hour time slots from 7:30-3:30 all day to be in the window in concessions, and also parents to run registration, door bouncers to make sure people have paid, etc). POM and POM parents will be helping out, too! They organized ALL of the food, etc, all we need to do is show up and help out. Mia will be putting together a sign-up genius account for parents/ cheers to sign up for time slots. This is a HUGE event, and we really need everyone's help (parents and cheers both!). As soon as I get more information about sign up time slots, I'll pass it along. We need to set mats at the conclusion of Parent's Night Out on Friday night so they are ready to go in the morning.
We got approved for holiday "Holly-grams" to sell at lunches for Nationals. We will set up a table during lunches to sell Holly-grams the week after State. What is a holly-gram? It's a little bell with a holly-shaped cut out attached to it that students will have the chance to buy during lunch. They will write a message on the holly cut out to a friend or secret admirer and the cheers will distribute those during lunches on the week before break. Kids can put the bells on their backpacks and let them jingle through the hallways to get in to the Holly-day spirit! I'm really excited that this got approved. It is so very important that this goes well so that we have the chance to do it again next year.
We also have our next parent night out event coming up on the 12th. The week after State is going to be a hard-hitting week for fundraising. Expect to be busy!
Also, the pancake breakfast fundraiser is a "go" for January 10th! More details to follow.
We will meet at Savies house on the morning of State but our ride leaves at 7am. Savie's mom has offered her house for the cheers to get ready and do hair. They have even offered to stay on Thursday night so you don't have to find a ride early on Friday morning. I am perfectly ok with this as long as cheers actually sleep! If you do go to Sav's on Thursday night, bring your own blanket and a pillow!
Here is the week upcoming:
Tuesday, Nov 25 - Nov 31: BREAK No Contact
Monday, Dec 1: UE 3:30-4:30
Tue, Dec 2: Practice, 7-9pm gym
Wed, Dec 3: UE 3:30-4:30

Week of Nov 19 - Dec 6
Hello, cheer families!
Lots of information for this week.
Friday is our first Parent's Night Out Kid Clinic. We've already had a few phone calls of kiddos who are coming. Cheers: wear comfortable clothes, but make sure you have on some sort of CT cheer gear. Wear your hair up (half up is fine) with any bow. I think the little girls will want to see that. Here's what we need:
*Cheers arrive no later than 5:30 pm for set up - parents dropping off kids will need to fill out a waiver, so we need everyone helping either sit with kids as parents drop off OR collecting money/waivers from parents who are dropping off.
*Each cheer Bring something with you for the kids to do - either a puzzle or a game or some storybooks, maybe if you have a brother or a sister and they have toys you can borrow, SOMETHING. We don't have a set schedule laid out just yet, but part of the evening will be spent teaching an easy CT chant, playing ships and sailors or other games, eating pizza, possibly showing off some very simple stunts, and watching a movie. The rest of the time will be free "ish" time, but remember that idle hands make mischief, so we have to keep the kiddos occupied. The event is in the lower lecture center, so we need cheers positioned in places around the school to direct families where to go.
*We need a parent who can go out and pick up some $5 hot-n-readys and some paper plates and water cups (we can fill our jug and bring it down) once we know how many we need to feed. Cheers, please plan to eat on your own - we can get pizzas for ourselves, but that comes out of our overall profits for the night.
We passed out a TON of flyers last friday, so we could have 20 or we could have 200. If there are parents who are willing to help out with this night and lend a hand, I would greatly appreciate it. Mostly just for guidance for our cheers to run the night. Our cheers will keep the little ones occupied.
PARENTS: UCA has a cancellation policy that MUST be signed and returned to UCA no later than December 4th. If you are planning to attend nationals as part of the group package, you have to sign the cancellation policy, as well. Our cancellation policy for CT is much tighter than UCA's for a number of reasons, so please disregard the dates on the UCA cancellation policy. I will pass out parent package information and the cancellation policy today at UE. I need them returned no later than MONDAY so I can get them mailed off in time for the deadline. (I just got this packet on Saturday at our competition - it didn't come with our bid at Pueblo - sorry for the quick turnaround).
PARENTS who would like to attend Nationals with the team - get your registrations in FAST so that you can guarantee you will be with the cheerleaders at Caribbean Beach. Basically, if you sign up on our package, you pay individually but you register under our registration number, which I will give to you in the parent package. As a parent, your cancellation policy follows the same policy as UCA delineates since our program isn't affected by a parent or spectator cancellation. I am not able to manage parent registrations/group disputes/rooming arrangements/etc.
I passed out Nationals balance sheets and cheer balance sheets last Thursday to your cheers. Our first $267 payment for Nationals was scheduled for November 17th, but I will push it back to December 1st so that we have time to input Yankee Candles and Parent's Night out Discounts. November cheer payments will remain for Nov 20th. Any payment toward your final balance is sufficient. Butterbraids have been added to your cheer balance, but they were added right after I passed out balance sheets since totals were finalized right after they were passed out.
Many have asked what happens if you "over fundraise" for Nationals. If this does happen, the best I can do is one of two options - I can give you a credit balance for next season, or I can get most of your balance placed on a WDW gift card for you to spend at Disney. That will work for pretty much any counter service meal location, gift shoppe, or what have you. The remaining that can't be placed on a card (cards only go in certain increments) will go to next season's account if your daughter is offered a spot on the team.
We have sold at least one website ad, with more in the works! If you know of anyone who may be interested in advertising with us on our website, please let me know!
Still no word on Concessions for JV State...
State - we go EARLY for state this year. We are exactly halfway through the 5A teams, but that still leaves us leaving pretty early in the morning. Your cheer will have transportation TO the Coliseum, but not HOME from the Coliseum. Please arrange your rides for a ride HOME after the conclusion of 5A finals. Whether we make finals or not, we will stay through to the finish of our division. The full schedule is up on www2.chsaa.org. We will meet in the morning at one cheer's home to do hair and such. It will be very early, so we may just meet at that home as a jumping off point, or just meet at the school. I'm going to let the team decide this week on that. Our ride will arrive to take us to the Coliseum at 7am for an 8am arrival. So we need to be READY to load on to the transportation no later than 7am on the morning of State.

Week of Nov 10-23rd
Hello, Cheer families!
Lots of information for the weeks upcoming. If you didn't hear, we are NOT attending UE today - the roads are awful, and I don't want the kids driving on them. Please know this isn't an "every time it snows" thing - I just drove on them on the way in today at around 10 and even without traffic they were pretty dodgy for a new driver and the forecast says it won't stop until around 6, so I don't think they will clear in time for practice, and it's the small, slick snow with a layer of ice underneath. Instead, we will practice HERE at school from 3:15-4:30.
This weekend - it's gonna be a late one. I JUST got the final schedule yesterday night. Please arrive at the Western Stock Show complex NO later than 2:30 for a 3pm warm up time for GameDay. We are competing against 5 other teams in gameday, including Valor, who was right behind us scorewise at Pueblo. We will warm up for our Medium Varsity at 5:00 for a 6:05 performance time. Looks like co-ed division follows us, and then we will have awards. Plan to be there until sometime after 8 - just like last year, this is a late one. It's the largest regional in the Nation. Bring homework or a pillow or something to do while we wait for awards. Or watch Co-Ed. It'll be pretty good.
Fundraiser Fridays for Nationals start this week! You should have already gotten a Yankee Candles order form. If you have family purchasing online, go online and create a username so that the sale gets credited to your individual account, otherwise it will go in to the general fund.
I have gym times for us during State Week - they are LATE (7-8:45 pm) so we can get full mat space. Please plan accordingly.
The holiday party is scheduled for Wednesday, dec 10 from 6 - 9pm AFTER UE practice at Savvy's house. Details to come.
Schedule for the week:
Today: Practice AT SCHOOL, NOT UE from 3:15-4:30
Thusday, Nov 13: Practice, 3:00-5:30
Friday: FUNDRAISER FRIDAY. You will be organized in to groups to go out and either sell Website ads or pass out flyers for Parent's Night Out, which will take place on Nov 21 and again on Dec 12. Mazzy's mom is working on trying to get a table at King Soopers for you to sell Yankee Candles from 4:30-6:30 as well if you are planning to sell candles. I'll let you know as soon as I do. Since we don't have school, you can go and do your group selling at any time during the day, but please dedicate yourself to a MINIMUM of 2 hours. Nationals is expensive, and this is the way we offset costs. Butterbraids will come in on Friday afternoon as well, if you sold those.
Saturday: Pre Comp Warm Up Practice 8am-9:30 Am. Then, Arrive at the National Western Complex (right across from the Denver Coliseum) at 2:30 for 3 pm GameDay warm up. DO NOT FORGET YOUR GAME POMS. Arrive in Blue CT and bring comp whites like Pueblo.

Week of Nov 4 - Nov 16
Hello, Cheer families!
I'm updating a day early since I have some new information regarding this weekend's competition as well as a potential last minute addition to the schedule.
It appears there may be some confusion regarding Nationals. We got the bid for both the Medium Varsity division AND Gameday division. We will compete at Nationals in BOTH divisions - we took first last weekend in Gameday! ALL cheers will see the competition floor at Nationals, at a minimum in the GameDay division. There WILL be fundraising opportunities for Nationals - our biggest one being the website ads, which just got finalized yesterday. Also, running concessions at JV State will be another big moneymaker for us. Again, all fundraising for Nationals that we do as a team will go in to the kitty to reduce the overall cost of attending and will reduce our monthly installments as outlined in the PowerPoint presented at the meeting on Oct 23 (I've attached a link here: Nationals Meeting Presentation ). If you worked or are working Bronco games, those will apply to your nationals bill individually. Some have already worked enough Bronco games to pay for the trip entirely. If you "over-fundraise" as an individual for Nationals, that money will be credited to your individual account.
Just a reminder that my phone number for all business matters concerning cheerleading is 720-326-7419. If, for some reason, you have any other phone number besides the one listed above, please erase it. I will not return phone calls or texts made to my private phone. Thanks for understanding.
Volleyball made the State Tournament! They play Friday and Saturday. Usually the team plays during the day, and we take the spirit bus from school to go and support. This year, CT has one of the later games on Friday and it's vs Grandview, which is a HUGE game. POMS and Cheer will go to the Coliseum on Friday evening to cheer the game. We don't know how late it will go or necessarily when it will start - all matches run on one court, and each match varies in length. There is no way to tell what time we will play, especially since the seven matches prior add in a lot of time variation (one game could be done in 3, and the next could play all 5, etc. Compound that by 7 matches, and it's anyone's guess as to which time we will play - I'm going to put us down for a 5pm arrival, and we'll go from there - I will be getting updates from the AD as the day progresses so we can nail down a better time where we won't have to wait long for our match to begin). They are working on getting a spirit bus, but it's not looking promising as availability is tight. We will be done as soon as the match has ended. We will NOT cheer on Saturday at the Volleyball game as we are competing ourselves.
The schedule for this Saturday is up, and it's a tough one! Arrive at Douglas County High School no later than 3pm for a 4pm check-in time. Performance time for parents is at 4:50pm. We should be done with the competition at around 6pm. Monday is League. We perform FIRST at 6pm. Cheers please plan to arrive at Eaglecrest at 4pm.

We don't know how late it will go or necessarily when it will start - all matches run on one court, and each match varies in length. There is no way to tell what time we will play, especially since the seven matches prior add in a lot of time variation (one game could be done in 3, and the next could play all 5, etc. Compound that by 7 matches, and it's anyone's guess as to which time we will play - I'm going to put us down for a 5pm arrival, and we'll go from there - I will be getting updates from the AD as the day progresses so we can nail down a better time where we won't have to wait long for our match to begin). They are working on getting a spirit bus, but it's not looking promising as availability is tight. We will be done as soon as the match has ended. We will NOT cheer on Saturday at the Volleyball game as we are competing ourselves.
The schedule for this Saturday is up, and it's a tough one! Arrive at Douglas County High School no later than 3pm for a 4pm check-in time. Performance time for parents is at 4:50pm. We should be done with the competition at around 6pm. Monday is League. We perform FIRST at 6pm. Cheers please plan to arrive at Eaglecrest at 4pm.
