Adjournment

Due to the snow, tonight's Parent Meeting/Competition Meeting has been postponed until tomorrow, Wednesday 1/13, at 7 PM.

Destiny will be keeping an eye on the weather and may make the decision to end practice early tonight. If so, each cheerleader will be individually contacting their parents.

Here’s the latest update on Saturday’s trip to Districts from Coach Destiny:

I am asking that all of the Varsity cheerleaders report to the school (regular back entrance) at 8:30am. The bus will depart at 10am. We will hopefully be at Shamokin HS at 11am which will give us 40 minutes to get taped and ready before stretching and warm-ups. The bus will also be available to drive the squad home. 

It is required that all of the cheerleaders ride the bus to Shamokin. If they decide to drive home with their parents, they will just have to check out with me.

Thanks,

Destiny

Coach Destiny’s latest news on the PA Elite practice:  The plan is to leave the school at 3:30 to head to PA Elite. The drivers are-- Cassie's mother, Kayleigh's mother, Cam's mother, Kiera, and Tim & I.

I will have the cheerleaders call the parents on our way back from PA Elite to have them pick them up at the school-- estimated time of arrival to the school will be 6:30. 

Reminder: it is $5 per hour for each cheerleader, so $10 total. Also, they will be given a liability form that will need to be completed by the parents.

Milton Competition updates:  ALL-STARS compete in the morning and schools compete in the afternoon.  Meeting time at the school and travel arrangements for the competition will be coming soon!

WARRIOR RUN TIMES:

WARM UP: 1:25pm

PERFORMANCE TIME: 1:40pm

REMINDER: Our monthly Competition Meeting will be held tonight at 6 PM. This meeting will mainly consist of any updates on the competition and then a chance for the separate committees to get together and start planning for the comp. Hope to see you all there!

The sign up forms for our concession stand at the Varsity and Junior High Wrestling meets have been added to our team pages on warriorrunathletics.org and to our group Facebook page.  We're asking Varsity parents to sign up to help work at the Junior High wrestling meets. Junior High parents would then sign up to work the Varsity meets. This would allow parents to watch their cheerleaders at the applicable meets. If you aren't planning on watching the meets, however, please feel free to sign up for any available slot.

If you are on our group Facebook page, you can sign up to help by posting the preferred meet(s) you’d like to work under the applicable sign up form Clarissa posted.  Alternately, you can also text Clarissa the meet(s) you’d like to help with at 570-492-9442. Thanks!

P.S. – We’ve also added the Competition shirt order form to the team pages. This form is just for the total number and costs of each style/size you order .  You’ll need to personally keep track of who ordered which when it comes time to pass out any shirts you ordered. Let us know if you have any questions!

The agenda for tonight's Cheer Parent Meeting is below.  Also, the Competition Vendor and Sponsor forms have been added to the Team Files sections of our pages on warriorrunathletics.org

Feel free to copy and share the vendor form with anyone you know that may be interested.  As an added incentive for finding sponsors, the cheerleader that earns the most sponsorship money* will win a competition sweatshirt, the next highest earner will win a long sleeve t-shirt, and the 3rd highest wins a t-shirt. ?

*The cheerleader’s name must be on the sponsor form for it to be counted*

Adjournment

REMINDER: Our monthly Cheer Parent meeting will be held tomorrow, 11/10/15, at 7 pm in the Middle School cafe. I hope to have the agenda posted prior to the meeting and will send out a blast when it's ready.

The November and December 2015 practice/game Calendars have been added to the Team Files sections of our pages here on warriorrunathletics.org.  

Per Destiny:  These schedules are TENTATIVE. There is a good chance that some practices will be extended to 8:00pm to practice competition. 

It seems as though the only crazy week is the week before Christmas. Varsity has 2 basketball games and 1 wrestling match that week. We also have the Milton competition that Saturday so I would like to practice the Friday before (12/18) at PA ELITE so that we are prepared for the spring floor at Milton on Saturday (this is not finalized with Brett yet). Since that is a crazy week--- I can talk to the team about splitting them up by stunt groups. 

COMPETITION MEETING: The first Competition Meeting will be held tomorrow, 11/3, at 6 PM. Many important items will be covered at this meeting, so parent attendance is greatly needed and appreciated!

PRACTICE SCHEDULE: Varsity choreography will be held this Friday from 12:00pm-5:00pm and Saturday from 8:00am-12:00pm. These practices are MANDATORY. If a cheerleader is absent, we have to take more time out of our practice schedule to re-teach and we do not have time for that this late in the game.

Since the cheerleaders have pictures tomorrow, Tuesday 10/27/15, practice for both teams with be from 5-8 pm. Practice on Thursday for Varsity is 5-8 pm as well since we missed a practice last week.

MANDATORY CHOREOGRAPHY PRACTICES (VARSITY ONLY): 

November 6th, 2015: 12pm-5pm (bring money and we can order pizza before the game)

November 7th, 2015: 8am-12pm

A sign-up sheet will be available for any cheerleader that needs a ride to Choreography practices. 

PARENTS: If you are available to bring some extra Cheerleaders to these practices, please let Destiny know!

Pink Out shirts have arrived and can be picked up from Clarissa Paige at the rear parking lot of the high school tonight from 5:30 to 6 pm.  If you can't make it to the school tonight, the shirts can be picked up from Kim Ranck at tomorrow evening's practices.

BREAKING NEWS from Coach Destiny: Practice for BOTH Varsity and JH teams will be cancelled tomorrow, Tuesday, 10/20/15. Practice is re-scheduled for Wednesday (10/21) from 5pm-7pm. It is important that everyone can make it Weds and Thurs for practice since this week is Pink Out.

Destiny and Tim have to travel to Pittsburgh today after work and are not sure what time they will be back tomorrow.

Here is the agenda for tomorrow night's Cheer Parent meeting.  Hope to see you all there!

October 2015 Practice/Game Calendar has been added to the Team Files section of our pages.

Please note that there are two days where the Varsity squad will not be able to go home prior to the game. Coach Destiny stated that her biggest concern is that the squad is always hungry right after school and wanted to make it clear that EVERY parent should be sending food with their cheerleader on those days when they can't get home.

Cheer Gear Payments Due:

Warm ups have arrived and will be handed out tonight to all cheerleaders that have paid in full for their cheer gear.  If you haven't paid all of the cheer gear money yet, please bring it to the school tonight so that your cheerleader can get their warm ups!

PINK OUT NEWS: The dates for our Pink Out games have officially been changed. JH Pink Out Night will be now October 22nd. Varsity Pink Out Night will be October 23rd.

Because of these changes, Pink Out shirt orders and money will now be due by Monday, October 5th. This gives us another two weeks to sell!

Hello All,

The Pink Out order form can now be found under the Team Files section of our pages on http://warriorrunathletics.org

T-shirts will be here on September 29th for the October 1st JH game. The Varsity Pink Out date is still TBD (tentatively October 9^th). Any questions, please call/text Clarissa Paige at 570-492-9442.

Cheer Gear –

As everyone should be aware, all of the cheer gear has now been ordered.  The total price per cheerleader for liners, briefs, and warmups was $168.  The WRCPA Booster Club paid $78 of that total for each cheerleader, leaving a balance of $90 that each parent/cheerleader is responsible to pay.  To make things a little easier for our families, the balance may be paid in two separate payments of $45. All payments should be made to the Cheer coaches.

The first $45 payment will be due on Thursday, September 10^th.  The second $45 payment will be due on Thursday, September 24^th. Per the coaches, warmups will not be given to a cheerleader until the full $90 has been paid.  If anyone has any questions, please contact Coach Destiny or Coach Tim.

Fundraisers –

Pre-wrap order forms and all money for orders is due by the end of the next Tuesday’s Parent Meeting.

Our next fundraiser, Pink Out shirts, will begin next week.  Two shirt designs have been presented to the coaches, cheerleaders will be voting on their favorite design this evening, and we’ll hopefully have more info at Tuesday’s meeting.
