Living in the 'House of Pain,' & Lovin' it!

I want to make clear that I am insanely proud of and grateful both to and for this squad. You are great at what we do. You encourage and inspire the crowd to encourage and inspire the team. THAT'S what cheerleading is all about, Charlie Brown.

You've ALL show plenty of leadership this season; initiative, creativity, intendedness, flexibility, poise, cooperation, etc. From the games we added to run-thrus, to the Puppy Clinic, to the decorating Jennifer had planned for this last game, stunting, and crowd-encouragement, especially breaking off from the student section to rally fans in the far reaches of the stands. That's what teamwork is all about, Charlie Brown.

Do I worry about some of your choices? Boys, the fact that leggings and compression shorts are NOT real pants, drama, social media, talking smack outside of school with kids from other towns? Rebelling on stupid things like piercings and ponytails (not to mention what you call me sometimes)? Sure. But I wouldn't trade ya for the world. It's been an awesome ride (don't say anything about the ride to the West Harrison game- anybody would've got lost on THAT detour!). This season is what memories are made of, and THAT is what Fall Friday nights in high school are all about, Charlie Brown!

I for one can't wait to see what this Basketball season is gonna be like. Keep that Bulldog spirit up, Ladies (and Nick). LOUD&PROUD!

Pictures Finally Came In

So I finally got pictures printed from this year- some of you complained that I still had last yeat's pictures up. Hey Lib, maybe my cupboards could give you ideas for yearbook layouts!

Quick Note

1. VAN TIME- from the Art Room tonight for the Woodbine game 6:00PM
2. PEP RALLY WED. 10/29- In the past, our last principal prefered to wait to see if we advanced to the second round. This year we WILL have a rally before the first game. Just a short one, 2PM (wed is a 2:15 early out).
3. Read, Review, Remember, & Follow State Rules, which I shared with you last week. You will not be able to cheer on Wednesday if you're violating any of those guidelines. Sorry.

Ted Mallory shared a Flickr album with you

Finally got around to uploading a bunch of these. Enjoy.

Things to know for Playoffs

See http://www.iahsaa.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/2014_Football_PostSeason_Manual.pdf for more dates and football playoff rules.

See http://www.iowacheercoaches.org/spirit_rules.htm for more/commplete listing of Spirit (Cheer, Drill & Mascot rules).

• No run-thrus (tunnels or human gauntlets, like last game) are permitted. Sorry ):
• Eight cheerleaders (all in uniform) will be admitted free to football playoff games, but any number may cheer. They just need to pay their own admission.

Violation of following rules may result in canceling the school's insurance covering cheerleaders:

• NFHS Spirit Rule 2-3-2: “Fingernails, including artificial nails, must be kept short, near the end of the fingers.” ICCA/IHSAA addition: “All nails, including artificial nails, must be cut to a length so that the nail is not visible when the cheerleader holds up her/his hands from the palm side. This is what is considered safe.”
• NFHS Spirit Rule 2-3-3: “Hair must be worn in a manner that is appropriate for the activity involved. Hair devices and accessories must be secure.” ICCA/IHSAA addition: “All cheerleaders’ hair must be pulled away from the face and off the shoulders: i.e. ponytail. This would be for both stunting and non-stunting squads. Ribbons may not have large or hard objects (including sequins of any size) sewed or glued onto ribbons. Metal barrettes that are small and flat are legal – banana clips and large floppy bows with streamers are not legal. It is not legal to tuck hair behind the ears – hair needs to be SECURED away from the face – this includes bangs falling into the eyes. “Bumpit” hair inserts are not legal.”See http://www.iowacheercoaches.org/Spirit_rules_hair.htm for further clarification on hair rules.
• NFHS Spirit Rule 2-3-7: “Glitter that does not readily adhere on the hair, face, body, uniform or costume is illegal. Glitter may be used on signs, props, or backdrops only if laminated or sealed.” ICCA/IHSAA addition: “No spray on/roll on glitter. Glitter in eye shadow should be minimal.”
• 2-1-7 Participants are not permitted to have gum or candy in their mouths while cheering.
• 2-3-1 Wearing any jewelry is prohibited AT ALL TIMES (including practices) except religious or medical medals which shall be taped to the body under the apparel. Items should not be draped around the neck even if they are taped to the body. All silicon bracelets, hair ties, belly button rings, spacers, tongue studs, upper ear cartilage rings, safety pins, corsages, friendship bracelets, spirit pins, etc. are considered jewelry and must be removed. Jewelry cannot be taped over; and fishing line, etc. cannot be put through the pierced holes. Wrestling cheerleaders may not have pins on their uniforms, pillows, or on the floor near them. Coaches also need to remove jewelry when participating.
• 2-7-2 Basket tosses, elevator tosses and similar multi-base tosses are permitted only on grass (real or artificial), a mat, or a rubberized track. Tosses are not permitted on gym floors.

Heads Up(s)

• Larissa let me know that some Senior parents had requested that Mr. Gee speak again at this Friday's pep-rally. I talked to him and he's game. He'll come by about 3:07, so please plan on leaving some time for him.
• As of now, the only teacher with any pie votes is Mr. Armstead. One kid wanted to vote for another teacher, but didn't pay me.
• I've had these t-shirts with your names in glitter letters on the back for a few weeks now, but so far only one of you has come and paid for theirs. I know $18.50 is a lot, but please bring your money as soon as you can. As soon as you pay, you get a really cool shirt. This may have been my fault for not reminding you often enough, but I figured you hate it when I nag.
• Please arrive by/before 6:20 tomorrow night- sooner if you want to warm up or practice any stunts, because they'll be presenting the Seniors and their parents right at 6:40pm
• Dress warm. 72 today, but only 57 tomorrow and breezy, down to 38 overnight.

Fwd: pep rally outline

Here is the outline for Friday that Shelia sent me, so that you'll have some idea of what to expect.
