Junior High Cheer
Posted January 8 -
A note was sent home with your daughter on Friday. It stated for the girls to turn in their bags and their poms. When the 8th graders turn in their equipment, they will receive a packet about tryouts for varsity cheer next year.
Thank you,girls and parents, for another successful junior high cheer season!

Some of the girls haven't told me if they wish to perform Friday night. It is difficult to plan a spot in the stunt for them if I don't know they are attending.
Here is the practice schedule to prepare for the December 14th performance:
They already know the dance because we PRACTICED after school before the games. Now we need to clean the dance so everyone looks the same.
Thursday - 3:15 - 4:15 (conference game at 4:30)
Friday - 6:30 a.m.
Monday - 3:15 - 4:30
Tuesday and Wednesday - no practice. However, if your daughter desires practice because she doesn't feel confident yet, WE WILL HAVE PRACTICE.
Tuesday - no practice
Wednesday - no practice
Thursday - 6:30 a.m.
Friday - 7:00 a.m.

Sweet Springs tournament this week. We cheer two nights this week: Tuesday and Thursday. Practice is before the games. Bring money or food to eat before the game. Remember on Thursday, we will stop at McDonalds in Concordia.
Posted November 8 -
Next week is the Sweet Springs tournament. No game on Monday. Tuesday we leave at 5. The girls can stay at school if you want, or, if you would rather have your daughter leave after school and come back for the bus, that is fine too. Our last game that Tuesday is at 8:15.
We will not cheer on Wednesday, as that is another late night. The general rule is that junior high cheerleaders are out 2 nights a week.
We will cheer on Thursday as well. Bus leaves at 2:45. Bring food or money. We will stop at McDonald's in Concordia on the way back from Sweet Springs.
Cancellation - Due to unforeseen circumstances, the junior high cheerleaders will not cheer at the games Nov 7 in Concordia. I am so sorry for the late notice and the inconvenience.

November 7 we go to Concordia for 4 games A and B teams. Bus leaves at 4:00 so be back at school at 3:30 in uniform. Thx!

We finally get a break! Our next game is November 7 at Concordia. This is an Early Release day. Bus leaves at 3:30 or 4:00 probably so we will arrive at school 30 minutes before that time. I will let you know as soon as I find out. It will be a long night as all 4 teams will play. Look for a note to come home with your daughter next week. Remember, practice is the day of the game before the game starts. We have so many games in a week when we have tournaments, that I don't want to overload them with practice. I want the girls to have time for homework and down time.
As you know, the schedule for the games was handed out at the beginning of the season. (See below, as it is posted here as well) Nothing has changed so far, I will let you know if there are any changes.

Here is the cheer schedule, again. It was previously given out in early September.
I post information every week on www.lonejackc6.net . I send out texts on textcaster. My cheerleader assistants for junior high post information on Facebook. And, last but not least, I verbally present information to your daughters. I believe in giving the girls some responsibility in their extra-curricular activities, and one way for me to foster responsibility is to have the girls relay information to parents about the upcoming week's activities.
If you haven’t turned in your money for cheer, please do so.

I-70 Conference for junior high held in Santa Fe. Games begin at 7:30. Cheerleaders, stay at school on Monday so bring your cheer bag. We will practice and learn new cheers. Bus will probably leave at 5 or 5:30. Bring money for food; you can eat before we leave or eat before the game starts.
We will cheer Monday and Tuesday for sure. No games on Wednesday. We will make the decision for the next games on Wednesday.

No practice this week. I'm still missing money from a couple of parents. Please get that in, thanks!
Our first home basketball game is October 24 at 5:30 against Sweet Springs. Plan on staying after school on that day to practice cheers, stunts, and basketball rules. You can leave to eat, but check out with a coach first. Those that play basketball will meet with your basketball coach first, then meet with cheer after. Playing basketball comes before cheer.
We will wear the usual uniform without the white under your shirt. The gym gets hot and you won't need it.
A note will be sent home about the I-70 Conference which is on October 29th - ?. It is in Santa Fe. We will go to some of those games, but not every game. Please be flexible - tournaments are based on wins and losses and depending on whether we win or lose determines when we play throughout the week.

Monday is our last football game! Then we will start learning cheers for basketball. The lucky thing about our cheers for football is that they all fit for basketball except for a couple!
At basketball games, the crowd is closer and they can see if you mess up! So work hard at home to be precise and have tight moves. Work on your jumps because the crowd can see those too! You can tumble, round offs, etc. before the game starts.
I will let you know when basketball cheer practice begins - probably next Monday.

Jr Hi will have cheer practice Wednesday and Thursday at 7 a.m. Our next game is Monday, October 8 at home. We will stay after school on that day and practice as well. If you are playing jr hi basketball, you will join cheer at 7:10.
Remember, money is due. I've only had 2 families pay.
Thank you!

NO PRACTICE this week. The girls will stay after school on game day (check schedule below), get ready, and then we will practice. Therefore, they need to bring everything to school with them on that day.
Parents: please ask your daughters about practice times and days. They are told at practice when the next practice will be. They are also told about anything that might be coming up for the next week. Of course, things come up and schedules change, but for the most part, your girls will have been notified of our schedule. They have been called up to the office 3 times this year to get a typed note of information. Also, remember, that below this post is the schedule of the games we are cheering at.
After everyone received their uniforms, bows, and shoes (if needed), here is what you owe:
Shirt, skort, and bow - $40
Shirt, skort, bow, and shoes - $60
Make checks payable to LJHS.
Thanks and 'Go Big Blue'!

I need t-shirt size and short size ( these are small, medium, large, etc.)
