Well, I'd like to say "Whew, Homecoming is over," but we still have three more days!
Here is your update for next week:
Monday: Peak
Tuesday: Practice 4:30 - 6:30 NOTE THE TIME CHANGE. We have full mats to run through choreography both Tuesday and Thursday. On Thursday, JV will go late. We will go late on Tuesday.
Wednesday: Practice after school: Location TBD - we may be at Fox Ridge. If not, Cafeteria.
Thursday: Practice 3 - 5:30. We have early practice so ALL members must get out mats. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Friday: Game vs. Creek @ Legacy. Arrive at 6:15.
Saturday: No kid clinic. Enjoy your first Saturday off since school began.
****Parents of Seniors and Seniors: Our Senior Night will be on October 11th at halftime of the game. Parents of Seniors, please do your best to be at this game, we will be honoring your cheer and you will be escorting him or her on the track at halftime. If you cannot attend, please send another family member in your place. Seniors, I need the following information by Monday, October 7th:
Your Name
The name(s) of those escorting you
How many years you've been cheering
How many years as a Varsity Athlete.
**October, November, and December tumbling payment will be due on October 8th. I'm in the process of finalizing the actual amount due - it will be less than $100, Please understand that I want to get the amount right, rather than over or undercharge you. I'm making every effort to get this information to you as soon as I possibly can. If you already paid $105 and/or the $58, we will credit your account. This is the final tumbling payment you will make for the fall season. Please see previous blog post regarding changes to tumbling.
**Team fees: If team fees are not paid up, please do so! I can't register us for competitions until you are!
*Athletic fees: If you have not paid your fall athletic fees (which were due the first week in August to Athletics), our Athletics office does not recognize you as a Varsity athlete. You will not be eligible for ANY competition, and you will not receive a letter/bars/recognition for being on the team. Please get them in ASAP if you haven't done so so that you can compete with us this year. Reminder that Winter athletic fees ($90) are due to athletics on November 8th. Same rules apply. Remember, this gets paid to Ms. Bode in the Athletics office, not to Cheer.
We will be working hard over the next few weeks to get ready for our first competition. Stay healthy, stay academically/attendance eligible, and stay injury-free!
Have a great week!

Homecoming week!
Gosh, things have been so crazy!
Ok, here it goes for this week:
Tuesday: Volleyball. Arrive at 5:15
Wednesday: In the AM: Pep Assembly Practice at 7am. Then, Spirit Bus!!! After school/spirit bus, we will make signs for the football seniors and deliver them.
Thursday: Pep Assembly/Homecoming Game. We will likely do a run-through of the halftime performance for the game after school. (Football teams will be out there right before the game) After we are done, have fun at the tailgate, etc. Be back for the game at 6:15pm and DO NOT BE LATE. Balloon run-through stuffers, be sure to organize when/where you are doing this.
Friday: Volleyball Game. Arrive at 5:30 DO NOT BE LATE.
Saturday: Practice. Just kidding :) Go to the dance and have fun!
Sunday: Race for the Cure - contact Ciara's dad for more information.
Upcoming changes:
Please plan ahead for work schedules, etc - our practice on October 12 is from 4 - 7 pm. Keith will come back to work with us on our choreography and this is the only time he can do it. Do whatever it takes to get there. We need him to work with ALL of us on full mats.
Tumbling Changes:
The last month has been crazy at Peak - 45 kids with 3 coaches was not getting the cheers the time or attention they need to get them to progress. Therefore, in working with Peak, we've made a decision to move to one team per day at tumbling. Varsity will be moving to Monday ONLY for Tumbling. A few selected weeks we will be in on Wednesday instead (we share mat space with JV which is only available Mondays, so on the weeks JV gets mats at peak, we will go to the Wednesday tumble class). Pay attention to the calendar. If you typically ride with a JV to Peak, start planning NOW because only one team will be there at a time. The benefit is that we will keep 3 coaches, but will be only half the size in the same space. A secondary benefit is we can practice on Wednesdays at Fox Ridge Middle School and get a full mat to run through comp routines. This is a benefit for everyone! Less money, less gas, less stress, more directed attention, and more competition prep time means good things for our teams. Stand by for information regarding the cost of Tumbling for October - December. If you have already paid or overpaid, we will apply it to a future cost and/or (for the first time ever and only) refund.
**If you have not paid your team fees, please do so! We can't schedule any competitions (particularly Pueblo or Mile High Regionals - the comps that potentially give us a Nationals Bid) until we do.
Have a great homecoming week!
