Please try to be patient with each other and don't complain about each other or talk about each other outside of practice.

If we can manage this, it will be a FANTASTIC season because we have tons of very talented people. Always, ALL-WAYS be positive.

Thanks,
Coach

Stuff for Students

Dear students and colleagues,

Ever trying to avoid becoming "roadkill" on the information super-highway, I have launched yet another new website:

http://mrmallory.blogspot.com

Students- This website is intended to be a repository for links, assignments, and ideas for my students. If you have one of my classes this year, you

Teachers may want to take a look at it for ideas on how you can make resources and web links available to your students as well. "Blogger" is a really simple, easy service offered by Google that lets you post things with easy to use templates without having to know almost anything about the internet at all. But if you have some experience, you can customize it a great deal like I have.

Everyone- Want to see ONLY the posts for your class, without having to scroll through all my other "stuff?"

It's easy- just click on the "label" or tag below that applies to your class. Then, Blogger will display only the posts for that class.

You can also scroll down to the "blog archive" on the bottom of the menus on the right side and then click on the month you need or a post title that sounds like what you're looking for.

When in doubt, type a keyword in the box on the top-left of the website, next to the orange and white 'B' logo and then click "search."

Mind you, this is not an official Boyer Valley Community Schools site. The views expressed here and the links provided here are not necessarily those of the school, it's administrators or board. This site is the sole responsibility of Me, (Mr. Mallory.) And just so everyone know that, I include that disclaimer on the  website itself.

Students- I hope that "Mr. Mallory's Stuff" comes in handy. I'll handy post things like review sheets there when Semester Test time comes around, so make sure to come back again once in a while.

Teachers, if you're establish a Blogger site like this, remember that it's not really a "Blog" (a journal or diary) and unless you want to hear from your administrators or parents, you should try to avoid including too much subjective commentary. Keep it professional, and concise. That doesn't mean it can't be fun. I started http://www.cheercoach.blogspot.com about 3 years ago mostly to post pictures for cheerleaders from games and pep rallies. Visit http://www.blogger.com if you'd like to try creating your own.

Students- A word to the wise, it may be tempting to use a blog like a diary to record memories or work through your feelings, but keep in mind, whatever you post on the internet is available for ANYONE to see. What's more, it NEVER goes away. You may delete it but a version of it will always remain somewhere on the internet. Just like social networking sites like with FaceBook and MySpace, don't put anything on a blog that will embarrass you prevent you from getting a good job 5 or 10 years from now and don't post anything that you don't want your principal, pastor or grandmother to see. And please, don't post things that could be considered harassment of bullying, or you're liable to be liable for libel!

Hope this is "stuff" you can use!

Fall Pep Rallies

Just so you'll have a heads-up way ahead of time. Fall pep rallies are any Friday that there is a home football game. 2:55 should be fine unless otherwise announced. Naturally, cheerleaders will need to be dismissed earlier (2:40 should do it) to warm-up, and get set up. Mr.Stump will no doubt have a time for dismissing band members.

2007 Fall Pep Rallies:
Sep 7
Sep 21
Sep 28 (Homecoming)
Oct 12
Oct 26

Barring bad grades, incidents, accidents or other acts of God, the 2007 Fall Spirit Squad includes:

SR Rene Hayden
SO Christine Harriot
SO MeKensie Jensen
SO Sasha Meggers
SO Megan Nielsen

SO MaKenzie Henkle- Mascot

Karen &/or Coaches/Sponsors- please send me a copy of your rosters as soon as possible. Obviously I'll eventually need them for Yearbook, but I'd also like to have the Cheer Squad revive the old tradition of decorating lockers for FB, VB, XC, StuCo, and maybe SciBowl and Speech/Music teams too.

Also please let me know when you have Butch scheduled to take your group pictures so that we can get yearbook pictures too. As long as we're at it, all club and organization sponsors- we'd like to get your group pictures earlier this year instead of waiting until the last few weeks. Please let me know when you plan to meet (Activity Period, whatever) if you'd like to have your group picture taken. I need to know at least a day or two in advanced so that I can assign a student if I can't get there myself ( I have a MS class during Activity Per.). If you have official membership rosters/lists/rolls, those would be helpfull too.Please also be sure to be taking pictures of your group's activities throughout the year.

Thank you,
Ted

Happy Women's Equality Day

What is Women’s Equality Day?
On August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granted women in this country the right to vote. Annual observances of the anniversary of women’s suffrage have taken place since 1970, with marches, luncheons, rallies, and educational programs. In 1971, a joint resolution of Congress was passed designating August 26 of each year as Women’s Equality Day. Click here to view the joint resolution and to learn more about Women’s Equality Day.

To learn more visit the National Women's History Project on the web at http://www.nwhp.org

Womens' Equality Day

Dear Ted,

When real change happens in this country, it always comes from the bottom up.

This Sunday, we celebrate the anniversary of a time when women came together and made America live up to its promise of equality. Women's Equality Day marks 87 years since the Constitution was amended to ensure that women have the sacred right to vote.

I'm proud that our campaign has been powered by the activism and passion of so many women.

Across Iowa, women have organized 50 official Women for Obama groups. These groups have organized statewide house parties across the state to celebrate Women's Equality Day.

America is ready to usher in a new era, and we're working with people like you to build a movement to challenge Washington, DC. Take this campaign into your own hands and join our cause:

http://iowa.barackobama.com/IowaWFO

Like all hard-won freedoms, the victories of the women's suffrage movement deserve to be celebrated. But they also call upon us for something more.

Bound together with the right to vote is a responsibility to participate fully in our system of government.

Women for Obama is reaching out to communities of women who do not vote -- women who have grown cynical about our politics; women who have lost faith in the ability of our elected leaders to address their concerns; and women who are tired of the deceptive practices and other obstacles that have prevented far too many from exercising their right to vote.

We are organizing voter registration, education, and mobilization efforts across the country to help women protect their rights and make sure their voices are heard.

Please join us in these efforts, and take a minute to become a part of Women for Obama:

http://iowa.barackobama.com/IowaWFO

When I think about the strength of the women in my life, it's hard to imagine that our society ever considered them less than equal.

These amazing women raised me, educated me, and taught me what it means to be an American. Their generosity and passion for helping others is what inspired me to enter public service.

But the fact is, women are still fighting for equality -- women are still fighting for equal pay for an equal day's work. Women are still fighting for the support they need to be good workers and good parents at the same time. It's up to all of us to continue that fight and to honor the achievements of those who fought before us.

Honor the efforts and sacrifices of generation after generation of strong women. Join Women for Obama today:

http://iowa.barackobama.com/IowaWFO

Thank you for your support,

Barack Obama

This site is the sole responsibility of Coach. Now, I will tell you too, that I have not made my mind up on who I'm going to vote for, but I loved Senator Obama's book the Audacity of Hope."
I went ahead and posted this here because I believe that young women (including cheerleaders) should know about and recognize women's history. The right to vote is something that should be treasured and exercised. So remember August 26, 1920- the 19th Amendment gave you that right. Women should be loud & proud!

Happy Equality Day!
Love,
Coach

One of the many reasons why we guys just don't get you girls...

Mr. Mallory's Stuff

Mr. Mallory's Stuff
Here's a new website is intended to be a repository for links, assignments, and ideas for my students. If you have me for a class this year, check it out- you might just find something that you can use!

Airborne

Today we just about got "the cradle." I'm confident that we'll get it down pat long before our first game. Then I hope we can move on to even greater things like a full extension, Liberty, Splits mounts and other stunts.

I haven't had a squad get this far on stunts and mounts since I coached in L.A.

Goes without saying, I'm really proud of this squad.

Oh, they also happen to be REALLY LOUD and have pretty good, low, deep pitch. On the other hand, we only picked up one more for junior high- that makes... two. Hmmm....

I appreciate that so many girls want to play volleyball. I'll live if we have to wait till basketball season for JrHi cheer. There's only 2 home JrHi football games anyway. Now those 2 girls and the 2 mascot boys may hate having to go back to study hall 7th hour but they'll live. We'll see.
