We will have our football cheer banquet on Monday, November 2 at 6:30. It will be located at WJMS.
**I need each girl to bring a finger food. I have broken it down into 2 categories.**
I will provide drinks, paper products, table cloths, etc.
We will eat and then awards will be presented. Family members are welcome.
I need to get a headcount so I know how many tables to set up.
If you plan on attending, please email me your name and how many people will be attending.
If you have any questions, please let me know.

We will have practice next Wednesday (Oct. 21) from 3:45 - 5:00.
The playoff game is at Jefferson. The game starts at 5:00. (Oct. 22)
We are NOT doing a car pool or bus.
Transportation will be on your own for this game.
I need all girls to be at Jefferson High School's football field by 4:30.
My car will be full. I have to transport the pom poms, run through sign, and my personal children. If someone needs help finding a ride, let me know ASAP. I know we will have enough parents to help get kids over to Jefferson.
I have also been working on our cheer banquet plans. I have come up with either...
Renting the Hoschton Train Depot (it is really pretty inside and rent is $35) and assign each grade a food choice (example: appetizers, deserts, drinks)
OR
We can rent the room at Beef O'Brady (free) and everyone will pay for their meal and I will provide a cookie cake.
Let me know which idea sounds like better or if you have an idea, please share! Party planning is not my thing.
The girls will vote Wednesday on Cheer Superlatives and I will have other awards also.

Parents may follow the bus. Parents are NOT required to be at WJMS when we leave.
The cheerleaders will ride the bus back to WJMS, where parents can pick them up.

A few notes for the week:
1. Practice is over at 5:00 this week! (and all future practices!)
2. I sold all of our snow cone supplies to the Elementary school. That way we can start with new flavors for field day (if I can get the machine again). I made our supply cost back... Yeah.... and my dinning room will finally be empty of cups, spoons, and 8 bottles of syrup!
3. Internet is still down at school (I think) and possibly the phones too. I check my phone in the afternoons (around 1:30) if you need me.
4. If you have lost your bow, you better find someone to make you one that looks like our bow. It is part of of our uniform. No bow, no cheer on Thursday.
5. At Wednesday's practice, if a cheerleader does not know the cheers, she will sit during the first game. I have stressed this at every practice and spoke to a few girls who needed to practice this weekend. The videos have been on our webpage all summer and I have posted the new ones after practice. Even though we are a big group, if some is behind, it sticks out. If you would like to come and watch Monday or Wednesday practice you are welcome to attend. An audience may be good for the girls! We will start in the gym and will hopefully go outside (so bring a chair).
6. I need a parent to call Zaxby's and Subway and find out how much it wil be to feed 23 girls. I would like to use our fundraising money to pay for this meal, BUT with internet down, we cannot process checks. So... If someone finds out the prices, please let me know on Monday ASAP. Another option is to have a few mom's do sub sandwiches themselves. Turkey, bread, chips, waters. (condiments separate). We will meet and eat in lunch room on Thursday.

Google defines the word Overwhelmed as being beneath a huge mass... My mass is a combination of school, open house, family, etc.
PRACTICE IS CANCELLED FOR WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5TH!
I am sorry to cancel, but I am completely overwhelmed right now. My mom is moving to a new facility today. I will be helping her this afternoon and open house is tomorrow! My apologies!! Our next practice will be Monday at 3:45!

Today was a good practice. We have a lot to practice before our first game on August 27.
***Starting on August 5th, the girls may wear the following to practice (per our policy and procedure handbook):
It must be school appropriate! NO SPORTS BRAS or BELLY SHOWING SHIRTS!
shorts, tank tops or t-shirts, socks, white cheerleading shoes (no keds or converse type shoes allowed). Hair must be up in pony tail.
Bows are not required, but recommended!
IMPORTANT: I need ALL cheerleaders to practice the chants that are on the website! We started reviewing the cheers and some girls need a little more practice. We have 20+ cheers to learn in the next 2 weeks. If a cheerleader does not know the cheers by the August 27 game, they will sit out until all cheers are learned. As we learn new cheers, they will be posted to our website.
I need all cheerleaders to be practicing the camp cheers. It is very important to practice at home!
Starting on Monday, All girls need to be in my classroom and ready to practice at 3:45! They will be released when car riders and walkers are dismissed. This gives all girls about 25 minutes to change and eat a snack. If anything is left in my room AND it does not have a name on it, then it will go to the lost and found box. Last year I had a pile of clothes left behind. I need the girls to be responsible for their items.
We will either be practicing in the lunchroom or the gym. They gym is super hot right now. If the tables have been moved, we will use the lunchroom.
Pick up will be outside the gym doors! NO PICKUPS IN THE FRONT! I have to make sure that all girls are picked up before I leave. Pick up is at 5:00!!

I have posted 2 camp videos in the cheer video section.
FOOTBALL JAMBOREE AT WJMS:
The Jamboree is from 9:00 - 12:30.
We are not cheering, but we are selling snow cones and representing our school. The girls are required to be there during this time.
**We will wear WJMS cheerleading white tank top, bow, black shorts, and shoes.***
I need parent volunteers to help with the snow cones! Please try to work at least one hour. The girls can take shifts actually helping with snow cones, but I need parents to help because it gets VERY messy!
I will have a sign up sheet in the morning at camp for snow cone time slots.
Let me know if you have any question. This is a great fund raising opportunity for us!
We have purchased new pom poms and we need to pay the extra shipping on our varsity bill. I did not charge full shipping to parents because I wanted to keep costs low. This fundraiser will help us with these costs!
Thanks for all your help!

We are in desperate need for new Pom Poms. We also do not have enough pom poms for a team of 24. The pom poms we have are in bad shape, so I need to buy some new ones. I have found some that are metallic red/silver for $17 a pair. I will be using our fundraising money from the snow cone sale in May to pay for the pom poms. We also have the Jamboree in August where we can sell more snow cones to help pay for the pom poms.
I will be placing the order on Monday.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Camp is coming soon in July! Money for camp is due on the first day of camp!

CHANGE OF DATES!!
The cheerleading tryouts have been moved to Tuesday, April 14 - Friday, April 17. We will be combining Competition and Football tryouts. The students may tryout for both Football and Competition.

We have 4 games on Friday. The games start at 4:30.
I am NOT doing a pre-game meal. Instead, I am letting the girls during the B games (there is a girls and boys B game) sit where they want if they are not cheering. That way they can eat during the game and see their friends. Please share this information with your girls! If a parent wants to bring food for their own child, that is fine also.
During the A games we will cheer as usual as a group! Girls will seat in a group while the other team is cheering so that we sound great during the A games.
We will be doing West Jackson Red, Black, and White cheer(toe touch cheer) and Hey Panthers at half time of the last game!
Here is the schedule for Friday:
B Girls: Black
B Boys: Red
A Girls: Red
B Boys: Black
So, Red team needs to eat during the first game. Black team can eat after first game.
FYI: If a cheerleader is leaving before all games are over, a parent needs to get prior approval. You can't leave just because you are done cheering.
I am assuming the games will be over around 7:45.

I have added a new section to our webpage to help the girls practice the cheers. The Cheer Video Tab has 6 videos... This should be easier to access the videos than the email I sent last week. I will update the videos as we learn more cheers. Also, please make a change on your practice schedule... WE DO NOT HAVE PRACTICE ON NOVEMBER 19! I will be chaperoning the 8th grade field trip to Savannah.
BRASELTON PARADE INFORMATION: I don't think our spirit jersey's will be in for the parade. I would like for the girls to wear any type of Panther spirit wear they have... If you do not have panther spirit wear, let me know... I can find something for your cheerleader! The spirit wear needs to be our colors (black, red, white). I would like everyone to wear some type of black pants! As I get more details about the parade, I will let you know. The parade starts at 10:00... don't forget your candy!

On November 15th we are going to join the JCCHS Cheerleaders in the Braselton Holiday Parade. I know the parade starts at 10:00 AM. We will probably meet in Year One parking lot around 9:15 AM. I need each cheerleader to bring a bag of candy to throw out at the parade. I am bagging up some Halloween candy (because we have WAY to much here!). The theme for the parade is Victorian Christmas. I am HOPING our spirit jerseys come in time for the parade! If they don't I will work on a plan B. I need every cheerleader to attend. If you have a conflict with this date, please email me and we can work it out.
