Junior High Cheer's big premier

Sam, Josie, Allison, Holli, and Tiffany- all 7th graders did a great job Tuesday at the game with Lo-Ma. Temps in the 90's- talk about Indian Summer.

Varsity helped coach Junior High's first game. Here Kensie ("Apple Juice") talks about how they're doing during half time.

Ali and Tiffany tumble at the same time- sychrinized kartwheels!

Holli showed a lot of moxi! Spirit, confidence, and leadership too- rock on!
A view from the stands

Jersey Auction

Having fun before the soup-supper. Wow, I have to say that I am REALLY proud. This was the first squad I've had to dress-out AND the first squad to actually perform a chant at the jersey auction! Way to go girls! Loud and PROUD!

Brett auctioned off Cujo's head. Here he is with auctioneer John Scheben. Proud here too. Man, I'm gonna miss this kid. He's great with little kids and he helps me stay sane on drives to away games with all the hair spray, cell phones, make-up and giggles in the van. He's been mascot for 4 years now. Isn't that like 28 in dog years?

Email - Homecoming Pep Rally

Hey ladies (& Brett),

Attatched is a tentative outline for the Homecoming pep-rally. Take a look at it and let me know what you think. We should probably have back-up chants in the event that we need to fill time, but that is unlikely- homecoming usually fills itself up pretty good. But do let me know Monday if you have better ideas for chants or games. Early in the season we had talked about some kind of 8-Count dance or lip sync... I'd love for us to work up a routine to do with a prep! I actually had a request from kids for the orange game, if you can believe that. I have outlines from 2003, 04, & 05 on my computer if you want to compare or see what's been done in the past. Cujo? No Cujo?

I'd like to have it finalized so I can send it to Mr. Straight, Stump and the class sponsors Monday.

I'll most likely be taking pictures at the coronation and I'll see you at the auction- remember to practice Kensie's little auctioneer cheer and don't be shy about it- have some fun!

Tuesday night, in lieu of practice, I'd like you all to come support the JrHi cheerleaders at the JrHi Boy's football game at the field. Especially because I may need to leave early 1st to get some yearbook pictures at the JrHi VB game and then to take Gracie to her dance class. You can even fill out the evaluation sheet for them!


FYI-
Sunday, October 1- Coronation
in the auditorium at 3:30 pm
Jersey Auction, Soup Supper at 5 pm
Auction at 6 pm

Monday, October 2- To be determined.

Tuesday, October 3- Super Hero Day

Wednesday, October 4- Cross-Dress Day

Thursday, October 5- Water Safety/Construction Day

Friday, October 6- Spirit Day, Pep Rally at 12:45pm, Parade at 2:00p.m., Dance following football game.

Have fun & make me proud

Kensie, just monkeying around

Here they are again

These girls seem to be obsessed with Photoshopping their kissy pictures. I think that it's freaky how Sasha's eyes are still kinda realistic.

Okay, Holli felt that that last picture wasn't crazy enough, so here's another one.

15 minutes of fame

This Andy Warhol- like rendering was requested by Sasha and Megan's pal Holli. That's Holli in the picture with Sasha.
