Update for Thursday

Hope everyone had a Happy Holiday Day!! :)  Lauren Jones, do you have any kisses left?  I bet you were super popular! :)  Get excited for Kindergarten Day!  I know that ALL of you have that inner child so lets pull out all of the stops tomorrow! :)

  • Don’t forget we are practicing at 7:00.  You need your TAN pedinis that you will be performing in on Friday.  You can wear any dance attire.  No jewelry and hair must be pulled back.  I will have breakfast for you.  This is not meant for a punishment.  We just need the time to space and prepare for the pep assembly.  Please come in good spirits in the morning.  Start your day off with a smile! 
  • We are spacing for the pep assembly so if you are not there, you will not be in the pep assembly performance.
  • If there is no volleyball, we will be in the North gym.  We are spacing to the senior side this time.
  • The performance is posted under pictures / videos.  Please watch and critique yourself!
  • Would anyone be willing to help me with things?  Come in during ART?  Let me know.  I could use it and would appreciate it.
  • Leah / Lauren – make sure you sign is done for this week and check off with me.
  • Please review the announcements for everything that you need for Thursday.  It is a busy day and you cannot go home.
  • I am assuming that if I did not get the required items for your additional routines that I am to take it off the list.  If you were unsure of what to turn in, please re-read the section in the announcements.  If you were still unsure, communication is key…communicate with me!
  • Please be taking care of yourselves.  We need healty Eaglettes to get through these next few weeks!

Love you girls very much!  Hope you are enjoying homecoming week! :)  You’ve made it halfway through.  The fun stuff is here!! :)

Salsa Basics

I found this video that has some of the moves we learned on Saturday.  This will help you review with your partner and get ready for homecoming! :) 
If might be a little different, but it gives you the idea.  You can explore for more ideas.

Update for 9.28

Hello girls!  I hope that you have enjoyed your weekend!  I had a wonderful time with all of you on Saturday!  I hope you loved the movied!  I know I did and I am so glad that I got to see it with all of you!  I was also very impressed with our dance lessons!  You girls did such a nice job and so did your boys!  I hope it got you excited about what is to come.  Like the movie, things aren’t always easy and things do not always go as planned, but it is always worth it in the end! :)  Thanks for a fabulous weekend, which leads us into one of the most exciting weeks!  Get excited! :)

The announcements are posted under documents.  I am trying to figure out a good video source and will let you know when I have it.

I have added a new type of guestbook to sign.  Try it out! :)  Please check back all week long!  It’s a busy and big week!

I don’t want to start out with a slow Monday morning!  Come in ready to work hard.  Lets have five days of intensity.  If there was ever a week we have needed it, it is now!

Love you girls!

Additional Routines

I think I have finally fixed the problem with the link.  I have broken it down into separate links and that has seemed to have helped.  If not, please let me know.

Please read over all information with the additional routines.  They are under documents.  Here is what you will find:

  • 08-09 Fees – This is to look over with your parents.  This is NOT the prices for this year.  I will find out the new prices after October 1st.  They may increase slightly.  This is to make sure you and your family are aware of the finanical comittment.
  • Permission Slip – This form is to fill out and share with your parents.  This way both of you know the time and expense.  Anyone who is doing an additional routine must fill it out.
  • Contract – This is to fill out with your group.  (You onlye need one per group.)  This will help you make a game plan and help me to know what your game plan is.  Everyone in the group is accountable for following through with your commitment, once you have signed.
  • Calendar – This goes along with the contract.  Make a practice schedule and have everyone in your group write it down.  Give it to me so I will be able to keep track.  Then follow through in your commitment.  Hopefully this will help to plan ahead and not be frantic at the last minute.

Let me know if you have any questions.  Get excited for additional routines!  I am very excited!

Don’t forget first check is tomorrow.  Bring your forms, music, routine (what is done), and costume ideas.  Missing this deadline means no additional routine.  I realize that the documents are being posted late.  If you have any questions, please communicate with me prior to practice.

Thanks so much!  Lots of love! :)

Spirit Days

Get excited…homecoming is here!  It is one of my favorite weeks of the year!  For spirit week, as a spirit group, we dress up every day with 100% participation.  Why wouldn’t you want to participate!  It is so fun!  For a little extra motivation, we will be “awards” for:
-The most spirited person for each day
-The best overall spirit for the entire week
-The class with the best overall spirit for the entire week.

I want to see some all out participation!!  Lets show Olathe North what kind of spirit we have! :)  The list is posted under documents.  Here is a run down:

Mon.  28th: Flashback Day  (Poodle Skirts, Jazzercise, Break-dancer, any decade you want)

Tues.  29th: Nerd/ Ugly Sweater Day  (Break out that ugly sweater your parents always make you wear, hike up your pants for Urkel)

Wed.  30th: Holiday Day  (Wear the color(s) that best represent this day)

Sophomores: Valentine’s Day

Juniors: 4th of July

Seniors: St. Patrick’s Day
