October Teacher Appreciation

For this month you will be giving your teacher his or her favorite candy/treat in celebration of Halloween. (you should have found out what is was as part of your September Activity)
If you have any problems please text Coach Anne. You should have this done by the last week of October. When you have delivered your treat please let Lexi know what you gave your teacher. People who are not getting it done and/or not reporting to Lexi WILL have a Wed morning practice of conditioning. (It will not be fun and you will have to get up early an extra day) Please just do your job as part of the team and help the teachers feel appreciated. It should also help the relationship between the cheerleaders and the teachers (but, it will make it worse if some teachers are receiving their special things and other teachers are not)
It's also good for us to think about others!

Free Hip Hop Workshop Opportunity!

If anyone on the cheer team would like to participate in a Hip Hop Workshop being hosted at JD this Sat. please see the comp blog www.jdcompteam.blogspot.com for more info.
You will be able to attend the workshop for free (Cost is usually $80) if you are willing to work at the event for half the day or have your parent work so you can attend the entire day of the workshop.
There are some great Teachers coming from all over the U.S. (you can find the link for their bios on the comp blog)

You need to contact Coach Anne ASAP to get signed up for a spot.
