Cheer Update 9/22- 1 week until State

The outfits for each game/school are listed below with the “events this week” and “events next week” schedules.  The outfit listed for “wear to school” is required for EVERYONE.  The outfit listed for “wear to game” only applies to the squad cheering at that game.  If a bow is not listed for a school outfit, it is not required to wear one.  You are more that welcome to wear a bow to school on those days without one listed, we just ask that it be the bow that will be worn at the game that night.


SICK?: As we have all seen, girls are getting sick left and right lately.  There is something going around school, and from what I have heard, it is unfortunately not going away anytime soon.  If your daughter is sick and has to stay home from school/practice/game, in order to excuse the absence, we will need to have a doctor’s note.  Unfortunately without a doctor’s note, the absence will count towards one of the 4 absences for the fall season.
Also, if your daughter has not attended 2 or more full blocks of school for any reason, they are not able to come to practice or any games that afternoon/evening (per Mr. Erneste). 

FOOTBALL DINNER SIGN-UPS: Angel Reno (Bre) and Josephine McCoy (Molly) are in charge of dinner for the away game this week.  Angela and Josephine, please remember to bring a case of water bottles as well.

FOOTBALL DINNER SIGN-UPS: Thank you Amy Wright for providing the sandwiches and goodies for our away game against Liberty, it was greatly appreciated!  We will be having a pizza party with the Park Hill South cheerleaders this Friday.

STATE: We will be competing in the Missouri state cheerleading competition in Columbia, MO on Sunday, October 5, 2014.  Since that falls on the same weekend as homecoming, we will not be staying overnight.  Coach Baker and I were told at regionals that our division will start around noon on Sunday.  We will be taking buses down for the day, and plan on meeting at the school at 7:30am Sunday morning.  Hair will be done differently than regionals, so a hair party will not be necessary (we will say exactly how when we get closer).  The bus will return later that afternoon (set time will be provided as soon as I know more about the competition schedule).  We encourage and welcome all parents, friends and family to come down to Columbia to support us!  We are requiring that all cheerleaders ride the bus to and from the competition.  I will relay more information as it becomes available.

This Friday is our first away game @ Smithville.  Cheerleaders will meet by the lower gym at 5pm and will be given a sack dinner.  The games usually end around 9:30pm.  Our arrival back to PHHS will depend on the location of the away game.  We will have the girls text parents/rides an ETA for when they should be picked up from school.

Cheer Update 8/19

Thank you to everyone who helped out at our Ford fundraiser with dance team this weekend!  It was a huge success J

Please review the attached schedule that pertains to your daughter (all freshmen + Hayley, Cassie, and Ashley W. are on white squad, everyone else is on red squad).  Please note that 7 practice times had to moved back an hour before state due to lower gym availability.  If the time is an issue with getting your daughter to the school or bringing home, please let me know and we can figure something out!  You will be notified of any further changes in times at least 2 weeks prior.   
We are hoping that by splitting up the games, the girls will have more time to concentrate on their school work.  Keep in mind, there will be no switching games if you cannot make it to one of yours. 
Even if you are not cheering at a game falling on a Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday, you will still be expected to attend practice beforehand. 


FOOTBALL DINNER SIGN-UPS: All dates are filled (thank you!), however some parents have doubled up and have taken on a home and away game dinner.  If you would like to help out with one of those dinners, please send me an email as soon as possible! 

STATE: We will be competing in the Missouri state cheerleading competition in Columbia, MO on Sunday, October 5, 2014.  Since that falls on the same weekend as homecoming, we will not be staying overnight.  Coach Baker and I were told at regionals that our division will start around noon on Sunday.  We will be taking buses down for the day, and plan on meeting at the school at 6am Sunday morning.  Hair will be done differently than regionals, so a hair party will not be necessary (we will say exactly how when we get closer).  The bus will return later that afternoon (set time will be provided as soon as I know more about the competition schedule).  We encourage and welcome all parents, friends and family to come down to Columbia to support us!  We are requiring that all cheerleaders ride the bus to and from the competition.  I will relay more information as it becomes available.

It’s hard to believe that the first day of school is just days away!  I hope you all had an enjoyable summer!  There’s a lot of important information below, so please take the time to review it all and let me know if you have any questions!

Please review the attached schedule that pertains to your daughter (all freshmen + Hayley, Cassie, and Ashley W. are on white squad, everyone else is on red squad).  Please note that 7 practice times had to moved back an hour before state due to lower gym availability.  If the time is an issue with getting your daughter to the school or bringing home, please let me know and we can figure something out!  You will be notified of any further changes in times at least 2 weeks prior.

Even if you are not cheering at a game falling on a Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday, you will still be expected to attend practice beforehand. 


FUNDRAISER: We will be participating in the Ford fundraiser at Thoroughbred Ford along with the dance team on Saturday, August 16th from 9am-5pm @ PHHS.  We will be having the girls sign up for hour-long time slots.  Along with the cheerleaders being there, we are also asking for a parent volunteer at each time slot.  Please click on the following link to access the sign-up sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19TGmgqcaHcd5IkccfLg2rxvECiJKmZf6xZNXcKwlGzo/edit?usp=sharing  (PLEASE be kind and do not delete names J)
Coach Baker, Coach Shaw (dance), or I will be there at all times. 

We are asking each cheerleader to call and confirm at least 5 people that will be attending the event.  Ford will donate $20 for EACH vehicle taken on a test drive from 9am-5pm on Saturday.  The girls will be set up with clipboards having people fill out the forms Ford requires for a test drive (make sure that they specify they are there for CHEER).  Money raised from the first 10 people you bring in will go to the squad, anyone beyond those 10 that you PERSONALLY bring in will go to your individual account!  I will be handing out fliers tonight at practice. 

Cheerleaders: You will wear your black t-shirt from camp with your red soffee or running shorts and white bow.   

FOOTBALL DINNER SIGN-UPS: We still need volunteers for meals before the following games.  Send me an email if you are available to fill one of these time slots.
Home:  Aug 22nd we need 2 or 3 parents
Away:  Aug 29th we need 2 parents
                                Sept 12th we need 2 parents
