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!

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

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.

Our Homecoming Run-Thru

Not wierd enough!

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.

prayer for strength and confidence

2) My policy is of absolute transparency. I apologize to anyone who is ever offended by anything that I write here or reveal about discussions with me and issues we deal with as a squad here. I do so so that you know what I'm thinking and how I come to the decisions that I so. That's called "metacognition," you may disagree with my decisions and my motivations may be in error, but I prefer to be absolutely open, even at the risk of being wrong or unappreciated. When error is brought to my attention, I try to correct or admit the error.

3) I genuinely believe in a separation of Church and State- I try not to force my faith/beliefs on any of my students at school as a captive audience. This blog, however, as noted above, is not an official function of Boyer Valley schools. It is a site that people are free to view or avoid. To the best of my knowledge, all of the current squad members are believers, so I'd like to encourage them with the following prayer-

"Please help me," I prayed. "Please change me. I know You can do it because I've seen You make drunkards sober and turn thieves into honest men. Please take away these inferiority feelings that are holding me back. Take away this awful shyness and self-consciousness. Let me see myself, not as a scared rabbit, but as someone who can do great things in my life because You are with me, giving me the strength and confidence I need."

I share this one with everyone because it's really a prayer that any cheerleader needs to pray. It seems like every year there's someone who's quiet, shy, or insecure. I know one JrHi cheerleader who seems so meek and diminutive that you'd hardly know she was there. These may have been sweet and charming traits in young women a hundred years ago, but they're necessarily qualities you need if you're supposed to be leading a crowd in getting loud. Besides hoping to build your confidence and increase your volume, I also want to arm you all, because being a cheerleader can be a bit like living in a fishbowl. You're up front and on display, therefore you become a target of greater scrutiny and sharper criticism than less prominent students at your school. It's unfair, but it's real. See your selves as confident and able to let snide comments roll off like water off a duck's back. Picture yourself as poised, comfortable, outgoing and having fun. Let that mental image sink in until your subconscious accepts it. Ask God to help you, even pray (or at least recite) Peale's prayer and you will become what you saw yourself being.

First "prep" at a game. Unfortunately, Coach Mallory's camera's batteries died before they got it up! Always bring extras.





We won 40-0! they called it in the 3rd Qtr!

Wow! How about Megan's Reindeer jump?

Posing for Butch Walker of the Dunlap Reporter

Sit Cujo! Sit boy, sit.

Practice can be fun

The freshmen and Rena teach Susan some "Bulldog Beat" claps

Samantha and Holly read through something (hopefully the cheer notebook, with it's informative diagrams of jumps and 8-count drills) toward the end of Junior High practice.

AAAAUGH!!! Poor Kensie is so distraught that Shasha would paint on her, instead of on the run-thru for Friday's game, that she takes out her nuk-nuk!

Car Sick?

I know it's not a fair picture to post, but Kensie wasn't really sick, she was just horsing around, so here it is. Be embarassed, deal with it.
