CAMP WEEK!!! :)

Be at school at 7:15am, bus leaves at 7:30am!!  Parents, I will send out a schedule when I get one with the times for Sunday if you would like to come up an watch.  If you have not given me a “permission to transport one’s child” form, your child will be riding home on the bus with us.  I have to get those approved by Mr. Erneste, so I would not be able to do that tomorrow morning before the bus leaves.

To bring on the bus

o   Breakfast (if you did not already eat)

o   Lunch (we will not eat dinner until around 5pm.  Our bus is not stopping on the way there to get food.)

o   Backpack and ONE duffle bag per cheerleader

o   You should be wearing your grey shirt w/ red running shorts (do not wear your cheer shoes, just have them in your bag)

o   Don’t forget your signs for the door!!

Packing list:

·         Clothing (UCA suggests that you mark all clothing items with initials or names to not confuse them with others)

o   Friday—Grey shirt w/ red running shorts

o   Saturday—Black tank w/ black skort

o   Sunday—New uniform (morning), black shirt w/ red soffee shorts (afternoon)

o   Pajamas

o   Another change of clothes IF you would like (not necessary at all)

·         Cheer shoes

·         Change of shoes (flip flops or another pair of tennis shoes)

·         Flip flops for the shower

·         Towel

o   Advil, Tylenol, etc.

o   Any other medications you take à please send a note with the name of the medication, how often it needs to be taken, and if you will want us to keep it in our room

o   We are not able (nor is UCA) to provide any type of medication to any participant.  Please plan accordingly.

o   Any braces, wraps, tape, etc. you will need to have

·         Optional spending money—UCA suggests around $50-55 for t-shirts, souvenirs, vending machines, etc.  This money will also go toward lunch on Sunday before we return home.

·         Notebook and pen

·         Phone/phone charger

·         Snacks

·         Refillable water bottle

I will have the bows to hand out on the bus tomorrow morning.  If I have not received your release form, PLEASE make sure to bring that to the picnic tonight. 

Please let us know if you have any questions! 

Week before Camp!!!

Thanks for all of your hard work during choreography!  The new routine has great potential!

We have decided to shorten our night practices by 30 minutes—the new ending time for night practices will be 8:30pm, NOT 9pm!

Monday practice for this coming week (6/16) is cancelled.  Since we have cheer camp the entire next weekend, we want you to be well rested J

UCA CHEER CAMP: The bus will meet us at PHHS on Friday, June 20, at 7:15am and we will plan to be on the road by 7:30am.  The trip should take around 1 ½ -2 hours.  We will return to PHHS on Sunday, June 22 at 4pm.  I have attached a sample schedule for the camp to give everyone an idea of what to expect.  Also attached are the release/waiver form as well as a checklist for suggested items to bring.  I will need the signed release/waiver form BEFORE next Friday (6/20).  

*** CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR THESE FORMS****

Next Tuesday (6/17), we will be having a parent group meeting @ 7pm.  Please make sure you either bring, or send with your cheerleader to the morning practice, 24 small items to fill the bags with.  All parents are welcome to help out!

TEAM BONDING: Family picnic next Thursday (6/19) at 5:30 @ the park near Renner Elementary and the tennis courts on Congress.  Planet Sub donated a party tray of sandwiches and each family will need to bring the following items (based on next year grade level):
