Silver Tom's

Silver Tom's are OPTIONAL and can be worn to school with their uniforms during the year. Here is an awesome deal! THANKS!

 

 

Sorry to bother everyone again...I forgot to mention that one of our new JV moms, Silvia Rodriguez, did some research and was able to hook up a deal with one of our local businesses to get all La Quinta Cheerleaders the optional Silver Sparkly Toms for only $37.50 plus tax. If you haven't already done your research these shoes typically run $65.00 plus tax and shipping. Glen, owner of Epidemic Skateboard Shop has offered to order the shoes at basically his cost to help support LQ Cheer. 

Here's how you get them....

At uniform fitting I will have Epidemic Skateboard Shop business cards to hand out to all cheerleaders with instructions. You can then go to Epidemic (72363 HWY 111 in Palm Desert next to Islands and I HOP) any time between May 30th and June 30th to size your cheerleader and place your order. Money will be due when you place your order. The shoe order will be placed on June 30th as a large order to get the free shipping. Please make sure to go with your cheerleader for sizing if possible as Epidemic Skateboard Shop will not be responsible for delays caused by wrong sizes being ordered or back ordered items. I will email parents once the shoe order is in so you can arrange for pick-up. 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns regarding this email. A Big thank you to Epidemic Skateboard Shop and Mrs. Rodriguez....it's people like you that go above and beyond that make this such a great cheer program! Go Blackhawks!!!

Uniform Exchange

Good afternoon cheer families,

 

I hope you are all enjoying the long holiday weekend. I just wanted to send out a reminder that this Wednesday, May 30th is uniform fittings. We will be doing the uniform exchange at 5:00PM at uniform fitting. If you plan on purchasing or selling a used uniform you need to be at the fittings at 5:00pm to have the best chances of selling or purchasing a used uniform. See pricing below...no haggling allowed:

 

Junior Varsity: $115.00 (Shell & Skirt)
Varsity: $155.00 (Shell, Skirt & Liner) $115.00 (without liner)

 

If you have already found a cheerleader uniform to purchase please note that you still need to come to uniform fittings at your scheduled time (previously sent by Coach Smith, also available on the cheer blog) with the uniform you plan to purchase and have Coach Smith okay the fit....not booty's can be hanging out. You will also need to leave your cheer shirt along with $20.00 cash with me to have the embroidery done. 

 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns regarding this program.

Thank you!

Varsity Cheer Boxes

Hello Varsity Cheerleaders and Parents,

 

This is a reminder that we will be painting and repairing varsity cheer boxes this Wednesday after school. We will meet at the cheer bin at 3:00pm. It is mandatory for all Varsity cheerleaders (unless cleared by Coach Smith) to attend to repair and touch up her box. We are still looking for parent volunteers to help supervise and repair. We need at least two parents to bring hand held drills for wheel replacement. The Booster will provide waters and sandwiches for all volunteers.

 

Thank you in advance for your help! We can't do it without you!! 

 

Tonya Carnevale, President

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 16^th and 23^rd. 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!

http://www.omnicheer.com/Cheer-Skirts/Lycra-Skirts/Lycra-Cheerleading-Skirt-With-Built-In-Short.axd

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!
