Going Strong...

Fundraising: Our first fundraiser was discussed with the girls last night at practice. The fundraiser is due May 7 with money. I know it says May 8 on the paper, but we have practice May 7.  Delivery date for cookie dough will be Tuesday May 12. Each cheerleader is required to sell 5 products.  These first 5 will be a squad fundraiser.  The remainder of product that the girls will sell will go directly to their own accounts to help alleviate the cost of the year. 

Vacations:  Any vacations/ plans that will require to miss any practices including summer practices must be sent through an email to both coaches ASAP.  This will help us keep organized and know when you will not be here.  Keep in mind Varsity, if you miss practices over the summer it could possibly hinder competition in July. 

Varsity Practices The summer practices have been added to the schedule. Remember these are mandatory for Varsity and optional for JV.  As of right now it does not look like we will have evening practices, however, we may need to add more practices before competition.  Practices will be every Monday-Thursday 6:30am-8:00am Varsity will have an off week June 29- July 5 this is mandatory for all athletics.  Varsity will also have an off week July 27- August 2.  Hopefully, this helps in planning summer vacations.
