This Just In...

FYI- We have added a week zero game and are waiting for the official state ok. It will be Aug. 23rd in Kingsley. We have lost our week 6 game with Heartland Christian.

I will make the changes to our online calendar & blog as soon as I can. See you Aug 5-9 for "Camp." Savor your last dregs of Summer!

Make Up Track Meet TUE April 30

Hi Squad,

>>Congratulations to Shannon, your 2013 Prom Queen! We couldn't be more proud of you and personally, I couldn't be more proud of our student body for electing you! Hard work, positive attitude, kindness and acceptance of others- what more could you ask for in a cheerleader or a prom queen?!

This email is to let you know that Ernie Klein, our Athletic Director just let me know that the Junior High Track meet that was postponed last week (Thur Apr 18) has been rescheduled for this upcoming Tuesday, April 30.

We could sure use as much help from as many of you as can come. Middle School kids eat more than other people, plus this is co-ed and MS boys definitely eat more than HS girls! 

>>In other news; Shaw Screenprinting in Woodbine sent me an email today saying that they have a 3,000 piece order ahead of ours, so our shirts won't be ready until April 30. Hopefully they'll deliver them to the school that day, otherwise I'll pick them up the next day.

>>Remember that all your paperwork for tryouts is due May 3. Rena is planning on helping with tryout practices the 7th and 9th (can't believe how soon that is). Please try to make at least one of the two practices so you can refresh your skills & memory, as well as pass on your expertise to some of the rookie candidates. Tryouts themselves are Friday May 10. You'll all be busy attending graduations that weekend, we'll be busy with our daughter's confirmation- but I will do my best to announce next year's roster by at least Tuesday the 14th if not sooner.

Cheer Tee Shirts

Shaw Screenprinting in Woodbine just emailed me to let me know that our shirts will be done on the 20th. So hopefully I can have them for you by the 24th (I'm in Phx for my parents 50th anniv. Apr 19-22).

I had asked for your $12 each by this Fri 4/12, but as soon as you can get it to me is fine (make checks payable to BVHS, just write "cheer shirt" on the memo line).

The top scores will be selected for next year’s squad.

Candidates must score a minimum of 60 to be considered.

 potential, ability to work well with others, coachabiliy,

and how well each candidate represents Boyer Valley.

Sports Necklace Fundraiser

Sports necklaces are here if you want to buy or sell them! $10 each. Maybe we can sell some at the track meet Apr 18.

Need Tee-Shirt Sizes

• I have sizes for about half of you, please let me know your size ASAP-
• Katie, Maddie, Larissa, Chelsea, Catherine, & any parents, siblings or friends.
• At least 6 people are okay with the black so far, but Jennifer doesn't want black. Here are 2 comps that show what it would look like in other colors. Everyone who doesn't want black  has to agree on one or the other- so please give me your vote; Lime or Pink?
• Sorry, its taken too long to get this finalized, so nothing on the back. Make plans for that for next year.
• $12 each due Friday, April 12.

Reminder; Track Concessions Thursday

Don't forget, we have a track meet to feed this Thursday. Try to head down to the track as soon as you can right after school.
