Hey girls! I'm finally home from Canada. I want to let you know that I am so proud of the entire squad. At the beginning of camp, we set some goals: to improve our technique, to be more spirited, and to bond as a squad. With some long hard days, where you had to practice during 'break' times, you showed that you improved your technique by getting superior ribbons on the last day of camp. Go girls! Even though we were nervous and not sure what to expect, you accomplished your goal of being more spirited and earned the spirit stick the last two days. Way to go! Then as camp went on you began talking to more people on the team and became very emotional on the last night as you spoke encouraging words to each other. Check, check and check! You accomplished all three of your goals! You rock!

I can't wait until our next practice on Wednesday night (Check out the Cheer Events/Games calendar for the entire August calendar). We need to begin working on our cheer list, stunts  and  a dance routine for the football games. We will work on them in that order. Get ready for some hard work. If you were a cheerleader with IVHS or IVMS before, start reviewing the cheers you know at home so that we can move through them quickly at practice. My goal is to learn twelve cheers a night. Get ready!
