Wow! We've finally made it to the end! What a crazy season that flew by so quickly!
Here is some upcoming important information:
Final Payments are PAST DUE. We will be placing holds on accounts on March 5 through PowerSchool. At that point in time, checks can no longer come to me - they must be cleared through Bookkeeping. Save the hassle and get checks in to me by next week!
Uniform Turn-In: Next Tuesday, February 25th is uniform turn-in for ALL athletes, Varsity and JV. We will meet in the cafeteria. You will hand in Comp Whites and Trail (skirts, pants, tops). You will also hand in your poms. If you are a senior and would like to purchase your poms from this season, you can do so. Seniors, I know that you've been allowed to keep Poms in the past, but this year we can't do that because we won't be able to replace them. Seniors only: if you would like to purchase your poms, you can do so for $15 (New pair is $25). Bring a check to uniform turn-in. We can handle the remaining replacement cost if you meet us halfway. Otherwise, we can give you our old poms for free. Returners, you will hand your poms back in with the option of purchasing a brand new pair for next year or renting an old pair.
Each uniform piece must be cleaned! Please!!! You keep your sparkle whites - they belong to you. We will wear Sparkle Whites to all playoff games and transport poms that haven't been purchased the old fashioned way.
Seriously, wash your uniforms. Stinky, stained unis will be charged!
Playoff schedule will be determined Sunday morning, but I have the breakdowns of who is attending what for the juggle between round 1 and the incoming 8th clinic. Soph/Juniors, you will NOT be doing the 8th clinic because you could potentially be cheering with these incoming kids. See below. All cheers will be doing either the clinic or a game on BOTH days next week. For all other playoff games we will split teams and merge to full team if one group loses. Example: boys and girls are both in? We split. Boys lose? We ALL go to girls until they lose. Because of this uncertainty, DO NOT schedule "stuff" in the time slots until you know for sure a team is out, because you may be called on to cheer one or the other game.
Banquet: Mark your calendars if you haven't already for March 16th at 6:30pm! This year, the Cheer's plate for dinner will be paid for. All additional plates are $20 (this includes tax, tip, drink, etc). We will need a final count for the banquet by Monday, March 10th, so please plan accordingly.

Week of Feb 5 - Feb 18
Good morning, cheer families!
Wow...we are getting so close to the end of the season! It's hard to believe that this year is starting to wind down! While we are beginning to feel a sense of ending for this year, remember we still have a LOT of work to do to make sure that we finish strong.
Banquet planning has begun! Thank you to all the senior parents who have so graciously volunteered your time. If you would still like to help out, please let us know! There's plenty to do! I will blast out an email with the date as soon as we have one, with a more formal invitation to follow.
On a more serious note, along with banquet planning comes the collection of remaining finances for the year. If you haven't paid your winter $90 athletic fee, please do so by turning it in to the athletics office. Remember, we have to pay athletic fees for both fall and winter - please double check your books to see if you've paid once or twice. If you've only paid once, athletics needs the second payment. Remember, I don't handle these payments since they are made to athletics.
On our end, it's getting to the point where we will need to start putting holds on accounts through bookkeeping for remaining balances with Cheer. You should have received a final invoice from your cheer last Tuesday. If you didn't and you need a copy, please let me know. I can email a soft copy. Any remaining balance not paid by Wednesday, March 5th will be turned over to bookkeeping for collection as a fine. We have added no new bills to accounts since October.
We have a photographer coming on February 13th to take formal photos of the cheers! We will begin at 5pm. Bring ALL THREE uniforms, ALL BOWS, ALL SOCKS, etc. Arrive at 4:50pm. Photo shoot will last about an hour. We don't pay for the shoot, but parents can purchase pictures through the photographer's website soon after.
Our Scrapbooking party is tomorrow at Michael's. Print off and bring in any photos you have if you want them forever immortalized in our team scrapbook :o) Cheers will be able to purchase scrapbooking materials from Michael's before going in to the scrapbooking area - the cheer program is taking on the cost of the printing, assembly, and hardware - the cost of paper, etc, as in the past, will not be reimbursed. I do get 15% off as a teacher, so if you bring cash, I can get a discount for you. :)
Our Playoff schedule is up! We don't know who/where/what time we play, but we do know the dates. The playoffs are on the blog through State Championships. Keep in mind we will likely need to travel, so be prepared to get yourself to other schools. As soon as I have locations, etc, I will pass them along, but we won't know until after the last regular season game who plays who and where. If we lose, the open gym schedule will begin. If we win, the open gym schedule will continue on days we do not have playoffs. Open gym will be available to all current Varsity and JV cheers. It is highly recommended you attend.
