SPRING RALLY

Sorry I could not give you a last Smithizzle Note. I have not had time to type one and get it out to your class! SORRY!

You are excused from 3rd and 4th period.

Meet in the gym at 9:31 the beginning of 3rd period. I will meet you in the mini gym where you WILL be stretching already. I will need to get my class situated in the gym and then be right with you.

Wear to school-
Uniform, cheer shoes, hair in HIGH pony with bow, bangs back any way you like as long as they are ALL OFF YOUR FACE!

Be ready to perform. Meanin- tonight I need you to review your counts, and your motions, and your dance... ALL OF IT! Tomorrow we will have time for stretching and warming up stunts, and that is all. There will not be time for goofing around. Get yourself motivated to make this performance your best!

PLEASE COME READY TO DO WORK LADIES!

Love you all!

Athletic Clearance, Camp clothes, and Summer Practice



As I begin to plan for Summer, I need to know of anyone who will be in Summer School or an academic class. Last year no one was so I could have practice in the early afternoon. I would prefer this since it is often very hot in the summer. I need to know now so I can reserve the gym ahead of time. Please let me know today if your daughter plans on attending summer school or a class so I can attempt to schedule practices.

Also the girls will need to pick up an athletic clearance packet in my room next week. In that packet there is a physical form. Clearance is needed before your daughter can practice. YOU WILL NOT PRACTICE WITHOUT CLEARANCE. The school holds physicals for 425 cash only on May 16th and 23rd. You are also welcome to see your own doctor and have them fill out the form if you choose. Again, they can pick these up in my room NEXT WEEK. If you go to the school physical clearance will be issued there, and Coach Armstrong will have your name on file. If you go to another Dr. you will need to turn all forms in to Coach Armstrong yourself. PLEASE do not interrupt his football practice in the summer to do so. His office is next to the gym across from the pool, or you can put it in his box in the office.

For camp, and practice throughout the year, you will need the following items- (The link to a site that I find sells them cheapest is here. You can also find these shorts at Kohls.)
Navy Soffe Shorts http://www.omnicheer.com/Cheer-Shorts/Women-s-Cheer-Shorts/Soffe-Cheerleading-Shorts.axd
White Soffe Shorts http://www.omnicheer.com/Cheer-Shorts/Women-s-Cheer-Shorts/Soffe-Cheerleading-Shorts.axd
Maroon Soffe Shorts http://www.omnicheer.com/Cheer-Shorts/Women-s-Cheer-Shorts/Soffe-Cheerleading-Shorts.axd

NO ONE SHOULD BE WEARING A CHILD SIZE SHORT. I have had many issues with girls wearing shorts WAY too small and I will not tolerate it. Cheer shorts are the only acceptable shorts for practice. Some of the girls need to be wearing a larger short, please use your best judgment with this. Soffe shorts are NOT meant to be tight like bike shorts!!!

You will also need a skort and it MUST BE THIS ONE FROM THIS SITE IN NAVY!

If you have one from last year, it is the same skort! No need to get extra, or new shorts or skorts if you have them already!

The other camp shirts will be ordered at a later time.


Thanks and take care!

Team Moms and Uniform Fittings

Hi there!

I have attached the Team Mom list, uniform fitting times, the credit card form for uniforms, and the Parent Packet from the parent meeting.

Please note, the girls in yellow will be needing a new uniform and will take longer. Those in white are returning and will not need to spend much time at the fitting. Please only order what is needed for replacement items. The bows, socks, and jersey are all the same. The back of the Jersey does say the team name. All other uniform items are the same as well. I have not made any adjustments to the uniforms. In the parent packet you will find the JV and Varsity order forms.

Tonya Carnavale is organizing a uniform exchange that will be done at the fitting. There will be more information to follow from her.

Debbie McNicol is our Head Team Mom and she will be contacting the Team moms shortly with a memo about the job.

Please take another look at the parent packet for important upcoming dates and add them to your calendar.
