Back to School Night and this week's update

Hi Cheerios!

Varsity- we won't be having practice tomorrow. I need to get ready for back to school night, and it is too hard to not have a prep period on a Wednesday, then two hours of cheer, and rush right into greeting parents and being a teacher! We will practice super hard Monday and Wednesday of next week. Thanks for understanding!

BOTH TEAMS-
For back to school night

Report to the mini-gym at 5:30 and not a minute late!
Wear uniform, cheer shoes, white socks, regular spanks, PINK BOW with hair half up half down.

You will perform and then you will also do the fight song with band when they play it. Make sure you review that dance.

I will need some girls to help the parents with the booth by the clock tower that will be selling sweatshirts and t-shirts. If you help, they can take down your names and you will get merits. You guys are so cute I know yo can help them sell things!!

VARSITY-

Practice your dance for homecoming on your own before Monday. NO ONE is allowed to miss practice next week. FOR ANY REASON. We cannot practice with people missing.

Starting Thursday of THIS WEEK we will be painting the homecoming run-through. This is a massive undertaking! YOU MUST come at lunch to help with this. I need people with 6th period unscheduled only to help with balloons next friday when we fill it.

We are playing INDIO away. Report to the bus at 5:30, hair half up half down with pink bow and uniform. Please wear the correct thing! Your hair MUST HAVE a rubber band hair tie and then the bow. No loose hair hanging over ears. It must be all off your face. Also no bangs out. I will ask you to re-do it if it is wrong.

Wear to school- uniform, cheer shoes, or Toms, hair as you like. It may be nice to wear your pink bow to school.

If you haven't gotten a pink bow because you missed practice let me know.

BOTH TEAMS WILL BE REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN SPIRIT DAYS NEXT WEEK. Plan ahead. You are the SPIRIT of the school, so in order to increase school spirit I expect you to participate.

October 3 Back to School Night

Wednesday October 3rd is Back to School Night

Both teams will need to be in the mini-gym at 5. Dressed in uniform, and hair as you usually wear it to games.

Varsity knows what they are doing. JV- Coach Ciotta and I will discuss and get back to you.

Make arrangements now as your work schedule or other activities will need to be changed. No excuse will be accepted as this is a month in advance.

NOTE TO ALL CHEERLEADERS

Read the post about the kids camp I just posted.

I will need about 10-15 of you per day to help with the kids. We usually have 45-50 of them so this is very important! This is a great event for us and it really depends on YOU to be there.

Both JV and Varsity should plan on being there AS MANY DAYS AS YOU CAN. In other words- from 3-5:30 Mon- Thursday 9/17- 9/20. We will not have practice that week. So Mon, Tues, Wed when you would be practicing you will be at kids camp. Both teams Monday, ALL of JV Tues, and All of Varsity Wed. (Tuesday and Wednesday anyone who can be there- meanign you don't work or have another commitment you will be there if your team isn't scheduled to be.)

Varsity Captains will teach the dance and make a clothing schedule for both teams for the week. It is important you look professional as you are the coaches for the camp!

VARSITY- before next Friday, our next home game, you need to make at least two sings. One for your goody bag players, and one general. These will be re-used throughout the season so make them durable. Goody bags will resume next Friday as well!

JV- Keep being awesome! I am so proud of all of you! I'll see you at the game tonight!

Love you all!

2012-2013 Cheers

LQHS 2012- 2013  Cheers

Cheer Camp Update

Hi all,

I am unfortunately going to miss this weeks last practice before camp. My dad got into a very bad crash today and I will be driving to Fresno to be with my stepmom who is up there by herself right now. This is a very difficult time for me as I don't know exactly the extent of his injuries all I know he's pretty badly injured- and I do need to be with him at this time. I thank you for understanding that any cheer crisis should be dealt with by your captain who will then talk with me. I will not be answering cheer texts unless it is an absolute emergency.  Should I forget something in this post please alert your captain and they will talk to me.

Camp clothes- will be handed out at practice as I said.
All forms are being looked at and anyone who missed anything on them will be told to fix them or they will not attend.
Please remember- dress up day is WESTERN. NO Hoochie outfits please. Keep it classy! Also there is a chance to wear a college shirt. If you have one, or have a college you like or plan on attending you will be able to wear that on the third day.

Parents can come to camp on the last day, Thursday at __________ to watch the final performances and awards. We are int he ontario convention center. PLEASE NOTE you will not be able to sit with, hang out with, attack, or take your daughter away from the team until right after awards. NO ONE should leave with their parents everyone should take the bus to and from camp. This year should be less of a zoo because the Kardashians won't be there. :-)

BUS- Be at the bus at 7:00 am on Monday in your jersey and navy skort cheer shoes only with all white short socks, hair braided to the right with a high pony and bow! (Many of us can braid and I can do it on the bus if needed.) REMEMBER only all white short socks and ALL WHITE SPORTS BRAS!!!! Please follow directions and don't stress me out.

Remember to pack all of your necessary items and if you have meds I need to know about them! I will be checking bags.

As a last minute warning- I will not tolerate any infraction of the rules of camp or any bad behavior. I will call home and the cheerleader will need to be picked up by a parent immediately. THERE WILL NOT BE ANOTHER WARNING.

I do not want to post my phone number here... the captains can send that out to their team and they can give that to you.


Keep practicing your dances ladies! I know you will have a great last practice! Thanks for understanding why I can't be there... Love ya!

Practice and clearance

Thank you for your patience in awaiting a time and day for summer practice. I was at the mercy of my Assistant Principal who ultimately has the final say in my practice times in the gym. I heard back today that we will be practicing on Thursdays from 1-5. This will start next Thursday June 21. I have decided to have only one day of practice in the summer so that everyone can take more breaks and vacations. Please try to keep in mind when ever someone is gone an entire stunt group suffers. 

Practices will be the following dates in the mini-gym from 1-5:

June 21

June 28

July 5 NO PRACTICE- too many people will be on vacation since the 4th of July is on a Wed.

July 12

July 19

July 26 VERY IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE IS HERE BEFORE CAMP

Please keep in mind our school is under major construction. I have been told that we may not be allowed in the gym with VERY short notice. which means, practices may be moved, or cancelled at the last minute. This is NOT IN OUR CONTROL. Please note- I will get the information of any changes to the captains as soon as I can. 

Camp is July 30- August 2- I will give the girls their permission slips on the first day of practice, they will be due the next day of practice. 

August 6-10 is a break from cheer

August 13-16th from 2:30-4:30 will be work week. THIS IS MANDATORY AND NO ONE MAY MISS IT! It was in your cheer packet that was handed out before try-outs in March- so there shouldn't be any conflicts. 

August 24th- before school starts is our first home football game. 

Please note- I too take vacations and I do so around practices. If I do not respond right away to my e-mail or texts, and phone it is because even I take breaks from cheer :-) I appreciate your understanding of this, as there is hardly a day that goes by that I don't have some cheer business going on! 

On the first day of practice we will also fill out rooming lists for camp so be ready girls! You will need to room with members of YOUR OWN TEAM. It helps with bonding. 

ATHLETIC CLEARANCE

TO THE GIRLS:

There are MANY of you NOT cleared to practice. The due date I set was Friday June 8th. It is now June 12th. DUE DATES MUST BE MET. Demerits start NOW. If you are not cleared by June 21 when we start practice I WILL SEND YOU HOME AND YOU WILL NOT PRACTICE, you will also get 2 demerits. PLEASE turn in ALL paperwork, not just emergency card, to COACH ARMSTRONG. You may do so by dropping it off in the office and they will put it in his box, or bringing it to him in his office. YOU MAY NOT interrupt football practice and hunt him down on the football field. Due dates are due dates, and THEY MUST BE MET! it is too hard for me to keep track of 43 girls if due dates aren't met. 

Please make sure you order the shorts and skort I directed you to in an earlier message. Please Email me any dates you will be absent from practice asap. If work conflicts at any time throughout the year I need a copy of your work schedule in hand to excuse you due to work. Thanks! 

I hope everyone is having a great summer and I can't wait to see you!
