Photos and videos needed

I am working on the end of year JV cheer video, and I could use some more photos and videos. So, if you have any fun photos or video footage of the girls from this season, please get them to me in the next week or so.

Ways to get them to me:

1. email photos or short video clips.

2. Put on DVD or CD and 

   a. Send with your daughter to the game or practice

   b. Drop it in my milk box on my front porch anytime

3. Bring me your camcorder, and I can upload directly to my computer and return.

4. Bring me your flash/memory card that I will return after I upload to my computer.

5. Send hard copy Prints to me and I will scan them and return.

Remember that the professional photographer sent me a copy of each of the girls from their photo shoot as part of our package. However, there were a couple of girls who did not make it to retakes. So, of course, I will not have those.

I could use candid shots of the girls in or out of uniform, from games, competitions, events, functions, or even practice. I may not use everything that I recieve, but it is nice to have lots of material to work with.

GET WELL SOON, EMMA R

This week at cheer practices, we are missing our teammate, Emma R, who is out due to an injury. We miss her, and wish her a speedy recovery. This is really living up to our slogan, "WHERE'S EMMA?"

Sally Foster Fundraiser

Don't forget to register for the Sally Foster fundraiser. (check into the really high quality wrapping paper).

Sales can be made online, and the product will ship directly to the buyer.

We are extending the dates for the sales through the end of the year. But the top earner from the fundraiser by Halloween at 6pm, will receive a free one hour private lesson from Gary Weiland at Xtreme Lafayette. He is an amazing tumbling coach, and the winner will learn a lot.

Remember, this is an individual fundraiser, and 40% of your sales will go directly into your personal cheer account.

So, get selling, and we will tally the sales on Halloween to find our winner.

Here are the details for registering:

PARENT MEETING THIS THURSDAY

Please do not forget the parent meeting this Thursday, September 15 at 6pm following practice. We will go over all of our plans for the season including competitions and fundraising, football games, etc. We will also cover our cheer rules and expectations. It is really important that the girls be there with at least one parent.

We are planning to meet in the auditorium at 6pn. JV will probably break out and go to the cafeteria for a final 20 minutes or so of JV only information. We should be finished no later than 7:30. (Hopefully much earlier).

Elitch Gardens Competition was Awesome!!

Check out the videos page for a link to the performances. JV Rocked the stunt group division with 3 awesome performances. No missed stunts, all amazing!! Yay!

We will be competing on Saturday at Elitch Gardens. We have 3 stunt groups that will compete in the JV division.

Group 1: Kaitlin, Ashley, Nicole T, Alanna, Emma D
Group 2: Emma D, Alex, Sariah, Hannalee, Ally T
Group 3: Miryam, Taylor, Mckenzie, Nicole B, Greta

I do not have the final schedule, but my guess is that we will be performing sometime between 1:30 and 3pm at what was the Batman theater.

Tickets at the gate are $32.95. The girls are all covered, and the parents who responded in time. I will send an email with who has ordered tickets.

JV Invitationals date changed

.

I just received word that the JV Invitationals competition has been moved to Saturday, December 3rd. It was scheduled for Friday December 2nd. Please make note of this on your calendars.

Cheer Testing!

Hey girls,

One more thing to think about during the break. Everyone will be tested on their knowlege and ability to perform the essential cheers. I gave this list to everyone, and it is also on this website. Go to the "Cheers" page. We will test before the first game at cheer practice on September 1st. Our first game is one week later. You will be tested in groups of 4. This is for your own benefit. You do NOT want to be out there on the track, and not know the cheers.

So, you have 5 weeks to learn the cheers, but do not wait until the last minute. Learn and practice every day.

.

Break from cheer

So,

We have no cheer practice from now until August 9th. At that time, we will have some very important practices to get ready for our first competition at Elitch Gardens. I have in my files that Kaitlin and Sariah will be absent on August 10, 11, and 12th. Otherwise everyone is there. Good news.

During the next week, tumbling at Xtreme is still on at the regular times. Also, take this time to get with cheer sisters to learn your essential cheers. If you did not get a video for some reason, let me know. But, some cheers are not on the video, so you will still need to get with your cheer sisters. Also, don't get lazy, stay active and keep stretching your splits, toe touches and back bends whenever possible.

Don't forget to register with the athletic office before school starts. You will not be able to practice once school starts unless you are registered.

Have a nice break, I will see you on August 9th. Or next week at tumbling, (I will probably be there.)

UCA Camp Champions!!!

Congratulations! Monarch JV was awarded Camp Champions in the JV Elite Xtreme Routine!

We also received 4 blue ribbons, and one red ribbon.

The girls learned so much about cheerleading this week and bonded as a team. They will be able to start the year with a large group of friends. I am so proud of all of them.

Now, get some rest. I will see all of you at our next home practice on July 13th. We will be making spirit posters that day, so do not wear your best t-shirt.

Go Coyotes!!! CHeck out more photos on Flickr! Just click on the photostream. That should take you to the photos on Flickr.

Cheer camp update and details for Friday

Hello families,
So, cheer camp is going very well. The food is great and camp is being held in a beautiful indoor football field, so no sunburns.
We just sent the girls to bed and lights are out! So I found a minute to email.
Everyone is healthy and happy and behaving very well.
Today we were awarded a blue ribbon for our cheer evaluation. We were the only team in our group to receive blue. I am so proud of them. They are progressing so well!
So, for Friday, if you are planning to come up to watch the performances, please plan to arrive by about 8:45am. Performances are starting at 9am and we are all done around 11am. We will be in the indoor practice fields on plum street. I am on my Droid so I cannot link a map. I am not sure of the best place to park. I have been parking in the large lot on Plum Street adjacent to Allison dorm.
We are having a great time, and the girls should be sufficiently exhausted by Friday!
Texting is probably the best way to reach me at 303-579-3323.

UCA CAMP PACKING

Note that a few changes were made for the camping list.

We are wearing the zebra shorts, black jersey, and the new tank that I gave them at practice today. Put hair up in ponytail with the new game bow with stars on it.

Do NOT bring poms. ( I will bring the poms)

Pack the diagonal uniform and black briefs.
.

Cheer duffel bags are in

.

Barb Silk will bring them to practice on Monday so you can pack them for camp. Yay!

Be sure to check the Uca camp page link at the top of this page for the packing list.

Tumbling at Xtreme Cancelled this week

.

This week, Memorial Day weekend, all tumbling at Xtreme is cancelled. They are promising makeups Tuesday night and Mon/Thurs night. I will keep you posted on that.

Butter Braids Sales

.

As a team, we raised a total of $800 from the sale of 200 Butter Braids. The funds will go directly to the seller's cheerleading accounts at the school. Congratulations!

.

Bolder Boulder

.
So, for the Bolder Boulder, the start position has moved from previous years, and is now one mile south on 30th at Pearl. Jeff Krinsky says that we cannot park at the NIST. So, our best option is to get dropped off and picked up. My husband can take my daughter and 3 others, then Sam can drive her car home. I can drive myself and 6 others, then my husband can drive my car home. And, Jackie Daley says that she can take her family and one other. Then, we will need pickup. My husband can pick up me and 5 others, and we need one more driver coming home.

I think that we have 5 cheerleaders, plus myself, Jackie Daley, Mary Ann Weidman, her younger daughter, and Jeff Krinsky. (total 6 kids, 4 adults). Am I missing anyone?
Girls should wear Coyotes shirt and MOHI shorts. Meet at the school at 8:00am. (We need to leave early because of the traffic.) Our WA wave starts at 9:20.
Let me know if you are available for pickup at around 1pm. We need at least one more car to drive up to 5 people home.
.

.

Don't forget that tumbling class starts tonight at Xtreme Broomfield at 6pm. Bring your permission slip. No payment is due. This cost will come out of your MHS account.

I will be there to get you started. Try to arrive no later than 5:50 to get your paperwork complete.

.

PRACTICE SCHEDULE PAGE AND CALENDAR UPDATED!!

.
The calendar should be up to date with all of the known activities and practices including tumbling.
