1.22 Update

Wow…that doesn’t even begin to sum it up!  What an INCREDIBLE competition season!  Eaglettes, I could not be more proud of you…on AND off the dance floor!  We couldn’t have asked for anything more…from anyone!!

Thank you so much to ALL of our parents for the support!  From the food, to the props, to the gifts, to the rhinestoning, to the ironing, to carrying bags, to sitting on those hard bleachers, to wearing the red, the list goes on and on.  Thank you so much for being the BEST Fan Club we could ever ask for. 

Thank you to Conor Hosford for being such a wonderful addition to our pom routine!

Thank you for all of the help throughout the day.  Thank you to our manager, Zaida Woods.  Thank you to Eaglette Alumni, Janae Mahaffie, for helping both weekends!  Thank you to the best assistant and friend I could ever ask for!  We have such an incredible support system!

Thank you to the Eaglettes!  I am so proud of you.  You were an absolute delight in every way possible.  Thank you for carrying on the tradition of the Eaglettes…for raising the standard of excellence!  I hope you experienced that Eaglette feeling that only a few of us know.  I hope you realized why we do things the way we do…you wouldn’t have heard your name 37 times yesterday if we did not!!   I hope that you enjoyed every second dancing on the gym floor with people wanting to see YOU dance.  I hope you enjoyed spending the day with your teammates, your friends.  I hope you realize how incredible it is to be voted the Oustanding Team this weekend, the Most Admired Team last weekend, and being selected for the NDA Team Award at camp!  That is something so very special that can only be accomplished by special people…that’s all of you!   Later on in your life, when you look back on your times on Eaglettes, you will forget a lot of things.  You will not remember all of the practices.  You will not remember all of the awards.  You will remember the special performances.  You will remember the special people.  You will remember the special honors.  You will remember that you were a part of something special…just like YOU!

Get excited for a well deserved weekend off.  Varsity, you need to be in my classroom by 8:00 on Monday, not dressed out.  Make sure to plan for school traffic.  You are not used to that.  If you are late, you will need to go to the tardy table and bring me a pass.  JV, you need to be in my classroom, not dressed out, at the start of 2nd hour.  We will spend Monday celebrating an incredible competition season.  Please bring back the trophies you took home these past 2 weekends.

I am not doing announcements this week.  Just to give you a look:

  • We will not be dancing this week in the morning.  Varsity, your report time will be the start of 1st hour and JV report time will be the start of 2nd hour.  Do not dress out.  Bring your spring show ideas on Tuesday!
  • We have a basketball game on Tuesday.  Mr. Pence asked if they could do a musical number at the game and I said yes.  I thought it would be wonderful to support the musical and give you girls a break.  It is also a JV and V boys game.  So we will have both groups cheer at the varsity boys game.  That means everyone will need to be there at 6:30 for the game.  We will just be cheering.
  • There is no after school practice for varsity on Thursday!
  • THAT IS ALL FOR THE WEEK!! :)

I am working on uploading the videos and pictures.  I am also working on the February calendar.  Just to give you a reminder, on Saturday, February 4th we have the middle school showcase in the morning and the Special Olympics Workshop in the afternoon (from 1:00-2:30).  The workshop was an addition to the calendar.

We will now look forward to basketball games, one more pep assembly, the lib dub video, and putting on the BEST Spring Show the Eaglettes have ever done!!

Again, I am so proud of you girls!  Love you to the moon and back!
