Week of Sept 9 - Sept 20

Hello!

We are currently working on getting our Butter Braid fundraiser rolling!  It will hopefully go from September 10th-27th.  Butter Braids are usually a HUGE hit with families as fall sets in. They are super yummy and therefore very easy to sell!

Homecoming is WELL underway.  Just hold on for a wild last few days!  There ARE changes to the schedule for next week.

Week of Sept 1 - Sept 13

Thanks to Chelsea's mom for hosting team dinner and decorating this past weekend!

We have some team meals before competitions that we are trying to get hosts for!  First come, first served!  Here are the dates we are looking for people to sign up for.  Email me if you're interested and I'll slot you in!  If you aren't the first to respond to a particular date, I'll set you up with whoever is in case you want to team up to do it.

Thursday October 22nd 6:30pm
Thursday October 29th 5pm
Tuesday November 3rd at 6:30pm at  or Friday, November 6th at 5:30pm (depending on playoff schedule)
Thursday Nov 12 at 6:30 or Friday Nov 13 at 5:00pm  (depending on playoffs)

Homecoming is on its way!

If you are new to the varsity program, homecoming is a VERY hectic time.  Schedule changes do happen, so please be flexible and open with your schedules as we need everyone's participation.  In preparation for homecoming we have pep assembly meetings to attend, etc.  Our obligations increase significantly.

Balance sheets are coming out with Rockies tickets (both un-returned additions to balance and discounts for sales), King Sooper discounts, and Snap fundraiser discounts applied.  In addition, if you ordered a warm up AND a uniform, I shorted you on Shipping and Handling by $8, so you will see that addition included.  If you need to see the individual sheet to confirm, I can definitely show that to you.  Please plan to make a payment no later than Sept 23rd.  Again, just make progress toward your overall bill.

Nationals totals have been released.  I should have a final nationals balance shortly once I work out chaperone costs.  We will have a Nationals meeting that  EVERY parent must attend to be present to sign the UCA waiver.

You will be getting a stack of kid's clinic flyers to pass out for the kids clinic on the 26th.  Pre registration is due by Sept 19 to guarantee a t-shirt, so pass these out quick! Please take some time to drop them off at day cares, and elementary schools.

As we gear up for competition season, we will be dedicating some of our time at UE to full-outs.

Our first game is Friday!  We also have a Choreography practice with Jeff our choreographer after school and before the game.  It's a lot to do, but that was the day we could get gym space and Jeff at the same time.  Let's work hard.
