Congratulations and great job to everyone at practice tonight. You all did a great job!!!
See you tomorrow morning at 10:30 am. Enjoy your well earned extra hour of sleep! :)
Don't forget your $10 for practice. (We will be tumbling with Kory the last hour tomorrow so he can work on timing and any new skills you need to work on for the routine.)

Extra Cheer Shoes

I have had quite a few requests to order extra pairs of cheer shoes. Please let me know by this Monday if any of you would like to order an extra pair. (You can text or e mail me) Please let me know the size you would like as well as the cheerleaders name.

I will get the order in on Tuesday and it usually takes about 3 weeks to receive the shipment from Varsity. Cost is $55 each.

The Nike sports bras and briefs should be here any time. The items come from back east and they were behind schedule due to the severe weather issues they experienced  a few weeks ago.
