Team-Building

To start 2nd term off right, we're doing a team-building activity. All members of each stunt group will take turns offering incentives and thanks you's to each other; small tokens of appreciation and encouragement. You can get creative and personalize these :) Some members who switch out have been linked to one specific stunt group to avoid confusion.

Happy Halloween!

We hope you all have a fun, SAFE, Halloween!!! Congrats on a great game last night! Your cheering was AWESOME, the football was AWESOME, Dixie, Here We Come! As soon as we have details on traveling to Dixie, etc. we will let you know.
Have a great weekend and have fun sleeping in on Monday.

ATTN CHEERLEADERS

Hey cheerleaders, there will NOT be a practice this Wed. night because Taylan will be out of town. This would be a great time for those of you who are doing yellow books to get a route done. Let me (Monique) know if you plan to do a route that evening so I can make sure I have the books ready for you.

Extra Practices/Constitution

There will be extra practices from now through competition season. Our first competition is on Dec. 5 which is the first Sat. after we return to school from the Thanksgiving break. Because of when this falls we will be having extra practices over the break. We have made the extra practices as early in the break as possible and as late in the break as possible to allow for the most amount of time off. Our first practice during the break will be on Wed. Nov. 25 from 8-11am at Taylan's gym. Our second practice will be during the break on Sat. Nov. 28 from 7-10pm also at Taylan's gym.
A couple of weeks ago the cheerleaders met and went over the constitution. Each cheerleader was given a copy of the constitution (some left without taking theirs, but they were given one). In the constitution it states that if a cheerleader misses any of the 4 practices immediately prior to a performance or game they will not be able to cheer in that event. This includes competition. This means a cheerleader CAN NOT miss any practices from Nov. 28-Dec. 5 in order to compete in our first competition. PLEASE CONTACT HILLARY IMMEDIATELY IF YOU WILL BE MISSING ANY OF THESE PRACTICES!

Christmas Party

OK, we already have a date for our 2009 Christmas party, so mark your calendars now! It will be held on Saturday Dec. 12 at 9:00am at the Stromberg home. It will be a breakfast, wear your pajamas, lots of games and food! We will be drawing names for a gift exchange. The $ limit on the gift is $20. Each cheerleader will fill out a Christmas wish list for their gift giver to choose from!
If anyone would like to help with the party please contact Annette Stromberg (801)540-4794.
