Our Girls! :)

Competition & Awards Ceremony

Our competition is this coming Friday, April 11th from 5:00PM-6:00PM. Please be here by 4:45 if at all possible. That way, we can get lined up and review anything that needs to be fresh in our minds. Satuday, April 12th @ 7pm is our Awards Ceremony. There is going to be a really cool performer coming in, so don't miss it! Parking is pretty crazy on Saturday, so I would get here 15 minutes early to get a parking spot. The GYM DOORS WILL BE LOCKED from 7:00 until about 7:15. So, if you come late, you will miss the first 15 minutes of the show. On Saturday night at the end of the ceremony, there will be a video with us in it! Make sure you stay to watch it. The video is usually about 5 minutes long.

Our Last Practice!

Thank you everyone for your thoughtful gifts you gave on Saturday. I really appreciate y'all thinking about Kersey, Ryan and Me. Y'all are so sweet! I can't believe our season is almost over - our last game was awesome! You are girls cheered & tumbled so well. We are very proud of you. Tonight is our last practice. We will meet at our regular time (5:00 sharp), but tonight we will be practicing downstairs in the main gym. There will be no basketball players, just us. PARENTS: please if at all possible, make sure your daughter is at practice tonight. We will be finishing up our routine for Friday night. Thanks! :)

Game Weekend - Cheerleader Appreciation Day!!

This weekend, our game is going to be at 11:30. We will meet in our usual corner. :) Also, tomorrow is Cheerleader Appreciation day! Very exciting! The cheerleaders will be called out last for starting line-ups, and all of the coaches will form a tunnel for the girls to run through. This can be a huge day for these little girls. They have worked hard all season, and they deserve special recognition. Please, help make their day extra special! When it is time for the girls to have their name called out, time to cheer, etc. please stand up and cheer for them. Thanks for all you do!

Cheerleading Appreciation Day!

This past week, I've missed you girls soooo much! I can't wait until practice today. We will be starting our competition prep. We will be putting a routine together to the song, "What if..." by PureNRG. Our verse for this week is John 15:8, "This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples." See y'all later today!!

Spring Break & Competition

We will be having a Spring Break next week March 17th-22nd. So, there will be no practice on Monday and no game on Saturday the 22nd. I hope everyone has a spectacular Easter, & I will see y'all again on Monday the 24th. Also, just a reminder that our Cheerleading Competition is coming up pretty quickly. We will be competing at the New Life Camp gym on Friday, April 11th @ 5:00 p.m. I would love for everyone to be there. If you will be unable to attend, please let me know ASAP, as it will make a difference in our routine. Unfortunately, I will not be able to be at competition because one of my very best friends in the entire world is getting married in PA the next day. BUT I will be here helping everyone get ready. Love you girls!
