Great Job girls!!!


Comp team: Sat. practice from 9-12 at Xtreme
Nate Blackhurst will be joining us on Sat. to help us with our comp. routine. It will be awesome to have a fresh set of eyes to watch our routine, help us clean it up, give us new ideas and help us in general.
If you do not know who Nate is, you should look up his bio under our cheer section on the JDCHS website. He is an amazing coach and will be great help! He will also be teaching our tumbling class this week. We will have him do warm ups with us and then we will go over each tumbling section of the routine and he will help spot and give feed back. Kory thinks this will be very good for you guys too!
Cost for this week is still $15. Everyone MUST bring their money and any back due monies to get completely caught up before the Christmas break.
Anyone not attending practice that did not previously clear it with Coach Anne will receive an unexcused absence for comp team. Please remember: 3 unexcused absences and you will miss a competition, 4 and you will no longer be allowed to participate as a team member.
New Nationals papers will be sent home on Saturday!

Finals:
Please contact Anne tonight if you have not paid your statement balances in order to arrange for payment. You should have received a text if you still owe and arrangements need to be made in order to insure you can take finals!

Cheering at games:
Make sure you check your calendars to see which game you are assigned to over the Christmas break. If you will be out of town for your scheduled game then you need to contact Coach Anne to let her know you would like to switch. Anyone who does not contact Anne by the end of this week and does not show up for their assigned game, WILL receive an unexcused absence!
