Smith's Back!

I am so pleased with our team this year. Everyone is really working hard at practice, despite it being pleasantly warm out. Our teams have their camp dances coming along nicely, thanks to Staci and Meaghan who are really re-working the choreography to make them impressive. We should be able to perform these for net year as well. I would love to have a time to showcase these to parents, provided we have time before camp. I will keep you posted!

A lot of people are absent lately, which is expected since it is Summer Vacation! Please keep me posted well before you plan on missing practice so I know. An unexcused absence is 10 demerits. That means I did not get, or do not have, and e-mail from a parent in my inbox. I write them down on my calendar as they happen.

If you miss practice it is your responsibility to get caught up on the dance and formations. We do not have time at practice to re-teach.

Thank you all for understanding my leaving last week. I learned so much at the conference and was able to meet educators from all over the country! You would be surprised to know that LQ is nationally known as a Model school. Other schools try to replicate what we do to achieve our success!

Personally, I think the cheerleaders are by far the best at LQHS- but I may be a bit biased!

Nevertheless, I am home. I seem to have brought back the humidity with me. It was over 90% humidity in Nashville! I think I will add "y'all" and "yontoo" (you want to) to my everyday language and wear my cowboy boots often. I can't wait to wear them to games just to embarrass the girls ;-)

Take care, drink lots of water, and stay cool!!

Girls- LOVE YA!
