WOW Summer went fast! Update!!

Coaching Change:

On Thursday night at Family and Friends we welcome Morgan Sobbe who will be coaching our JV girls.  She will also help out with Varsity in Competition.  Coach Sobbe has been a cheer coach at Staley in her past and will be teaching 9^th grade math at Park Hill high school this year.  We are excited to have her as a part of the Park Hill Family.  With that being said Coach Simon is moving to Columbia a week from today to move closer to her family.  She will be teaching 7^th grade.  We wish her the best of luck and I know we will miss her.  Thank you for everything you have done for the girls. 

Regionals:

Thank you to everyone who came out to support the girls last night! They appreciate it! They did an amazing job.  I am so very proud of them! It was the best routine I had seen, which is saying a lot because they rocked family and friends.  The girls took 3^rd place behind St. Joe Central and Blue Springs South.  We are excited to start working our skills to defend our title at state in November.

We would like to have at least 20 volunteers at each concert. We currently have 39 cheerleaders, so we should be able to reach this goal easily. We would like ALL cheerleaders 16 and older to volunteer for at least one of the concerts.  For the cheerleaders under 16 if an older sibling, parents, grandparent, aunt, uncle cousin or friend could volunteer for them.  You are more than welcome to work both concerts or have more than one person work the concert for the cheerleader.
