CAR WASH AND MORE

Reminder that our carwash fundraiser will be this SATURDAY, MAY 31^st at Sheridan’s on Barry Rd. from 1-4pm.  All cheerleaders are expected to attend, so if you are unable to make it please let me know ASAP.  Parents are welcome to join in as well!

Our summer practices will start this coming Monday, June 2^nd.  We will be meeting in the lower gym at 5:30am every morning, Monday-Thursday.  Tuesday and Thursday will have an additional night practice from 7-9pm in the lower gym as well.  DO NOT BE LATE TO THESE PRACTICES…we have a lot to work on!  Also remember, each cheerleader will be allowed 4 absences throughout the summer practices.  Each practice counts as 1 miss.  Unless your vacation has been cleared by the coaches back in April, those days will count as a miss.  Keep in mind that besides the weekend of choreography, you will have 3-day weekends, the off week of June 29-July 5, as well as 2 weeks off after regionals to travel if you choose to do so.

FUNDRAISER:  This Saturday, May 31^st, will be our carwash fundraiser at Sheridan’s on Barry Rd. from 1-4pm.  Please let me know as soon as possible if you are unable to attend.  If you would like to help with this event, please contact Angel Reno.  We will need people to help make posters for this, so if you are interested please let myself or Angel know.  Her email is hevnajr@gmail.com .

Big thank you to those who attended the UCA Stunt Clinic on Saturday!  We were able to improve our technique and learn some cool stunts as well! 

The next cost that will be due is for bows on June 2.  In the meantime, please make sure you go out and buy a black racer back sports bra, white no-show socks, black spanks (if you do not already have them).  We will not need the black midriff as stated on the approximate cost sheet.  

FUNDRAISER:  Orders will be delivered at tomorrow’s practice.  If you will be absent, please have someone pick up your orders for you. 

Carwash!---Please mark your calendars for our next fundraiser on May 31^st.  We will be hosting a car wash at Sheridan’s on Barry Rd. from 1-4pm.  Please let me know as soon as possible if you are unable to attend.  If you would like to help with this event, please contact Angel Reno.

SPONSORSHIPS:  Your group should have visited the assigned businesses. Please make sure you have followed up with the places that needed more time to make a decision.  Remember this is a great (and inexpensive) way for businesses to advertise from June until February!  Money received from sponsorships will help to cut down on the amount of entire squad fundraising throughout the season.
