New Updates.....

Hello All,

Applebee's offered to give us two dates to have another pancake breakfast, we politely turned them down.....they are not willing to do anymore for our team even though the error was definitely on their end......I believe I smell a BOYCOTT!!!!

If you did not sell tickets, you will not be required to turn in any money. If you sold tickets for the breakfast and are not able to refund the money or they don't want it back, you can turn it in and have the amount go toward your bus fee or competition fee for Atlanta.

The bus price for Atlanta has changed to $25 per person (cheerleader, parent, or sibling) wanting to ride the bus. The bookkeeper at JCTMS gave Angela our balance before school ended on the 19th and the team cheer fund is going to be able to cover more of the bus fee than originally budgeted. We have at least 10-15 more seats available on the bus, let us know asap because it is first come first serve.

Practice starts back up on Tuesday the 6th, we still need drivers for the first few weeks of January, check your schedule and give one of us a call.

Hopefully everyone who got in on the basket fundraiser is busy selling tickets. I have a template for tickets or you can make your own. Just remember to distinguish between UK or UofL. We will set up at the remaining home game to sell tickets, if anyone wants to volunteer to watch the table for a game let me know......



Any questions, give us a call!

Hoops on Monday - and pictures......

Hello All,
The 6th grade basketball team invited us to come and cheer at Hoops on Monday. The cheerleaders need to be there at 5:00p.m., unfortunately the school is not providing transportation to the game.

The girls should wear the royal blue/white/yellow uniform with jewels on it.I do not honestly know if the 6th grade basketball team dresses for the games or not. I would say right now they should NOT plan on wearing their uniform to school on Monday.

I believe Angela told the girls last week. I understand that it will be hard for some parents to get their cheerleader there because of work, so I would suggest carpooling or riding the bus home with someone else whose parent can take.
Let me know if you have other questions

Updates November 11th

Hello All,

All Peeler cards and outstanding clothing balances are due immediately! Invoices are being sent to the school and we need to have enough in our account to pay them.

The game on Thursday is at Male High School. If you are working concession stand, please try and get there at 5:30 to help set up. All cheerleaders should be at the game fully dressed and ready to cheer by 5:45.

On a different note, during practice there is a lot of talking and playing going on. We want cheerleading to be fun but we need them to focus because someone could get seriously hurt. Tara was really on some girls yesterday for goofing off. I don't know if they realize the importance each role plays-as a base and a flyer. Please talk to your cheerleader about her role on the team.

Please reserve your room in Atlanta - we must have them reserved by the beginning of December.

If you have questions or concerns, please call or come to us.

Thanks
Angela and Tammy

Cheer Camp

Hello All,

We made it!

The girls had a wonderful time-we learned chants, got fitted for uniforms and warm-ups, played kickball, danced, ate pizza and chips, played several team building games (step forward), danced some more, watched videos from previous competitions and year end videos, played hide and seek, and ate more pizza. Angela told them "beware if we take a picture--it could end up on the video!!!!" (tongue time)

Parents, thank you for entrusting your precious babies with us. We enjoyed them!
See you at practice on Tuesday.

Angela and Tammy

Go Parents!

Hello All,

Angela and I want to say thanks to everyone for stepping up with the carpool and to the parents who agreed to work extra in the concession stand if they can't drive. Great example of teamwork for our girls!

Terri Tuggle (Ciara's mom) is going to have a calendar at practice tomorrow for people to sign up to drive (my car decided it needed a break and broke down on the way home from practice) so I will not be able to be there tomorrow.

See everyone on Friday night!

Tammy
