One more thing! Positive Program- Teachers

I want to make sure the parents are aware of our campaign of being positive and creating a positive environment this year.  We have been working on this through the summer with the team. We had positive reinforcement exercises during and outside of practice. We also have an ongoing positive "preferral" program in which the coaches and cheerleaders can give a positive "preferral" award to someone they feel has done a great job at being positive or has impacted them personally in a positive way. (These "preferrals" also give the girls a free tardy when/if needed along with the recognition)

We are continuing this campaign into the school year and the school itself by having each of the cheerleaders be a teachers "personal cheerleader" for the year.  Our hope is that the teachers will receive some much needed and well deserved recognition for all they do and will help teach the students to be appreciative while showing the teachers we care.

Below is a list of each cheerleaders assigned teacher. (which most of them chose) Please make sure you are completing your monthly assignment.
Last week the girls should have introduced themselves to their teacher "as their personal cheerleader" and given them something that involves an apple theme for back to school. They also need to get their teachers birth month and day in order to make sure they recognize their birthday. The birthdays need to be reported to Coach Anne to verify you have completed your assignment.

Thanks for all of your support in our quest for a more positive environment. :)
