Wahoo!  We’re having a rally!  It is going to be very low key and FUN!  We must still set the standard for spirit and discipline!

Wear to school:
-Peace / Love / ON t-shirt (with white tank underneath)
-Red hoodie (ONE Dance Team
-Jeans
-Tennis shoes with white
-Hair however
-No jewelry
-Darker than typical make-up
-No gum
-Bring Silver Poms

Be ready to cheer / rally like crazy, perform fight song and other stand songs, smile, and show some enthusiasm!

Demonstrate what you want the student body to act like at the football game.  If the cheerleaders do a chant, we yell along and do motions.  If the football team is talking, we are listening and cheering at appropriate parts!  Lets set the standard!

We’ll talk dismissal at practice!

I am so excited this is happening! :)  Enjoy!! :)

Hey girls!  Hope you have enjoyed your weekend.  I’ve posted the announcements for the week.  Please check and bring in tomorrow.  Read it all!

I’m going to upload our pep assembly performance on our video site.  I’m also working on some other updates too!

See you tomorrow!  Love you!

First of all a BIG thank you to the Eaglettes and Parents for helping, organizing, and working the chili supper tonight!  We appreciate your time and effort!  Thank you to Carla and the Maughs for all the organizing and coordinating!  Thank you to the parents who donated food.  Thank you to the Sinclair for donating all of the chili!  Thank you to the Eaglettes for working!  LOTS OF THANKS!!!!

I also wanted to recognize Lauren and Shelby for participating in the musical!  We are so proud of you!   Thank you to those of that went to support tonight!  I am hoping to be able to attend on Saturday!  I am sure it is fabulous!

We did not draw our team nice today!  We’ll have to draw two tomorrow and spread double the love!  We made some progress on pom today!  Thank you.  Keep working and going over so we get that cleaning down!!   Thanks for keeping focused today in the commons!

Just to remind you what we went over today:

• No boys tomorrow.  PLEASE make sure they get the phone call.  You also need to get together with them.  We’ll plan on having them back the next Friday we are in school.  (December 4)
• We will re-space jazz in the morning.  We will space in the North gym at 7:45.
• Bring:  Tan tights / tan pedinis / black fishnets / black pedinis / black gloves / black hot shorts / black rubber bands (hair and gloves) / rhinestone hair clip / performance make up / appropriate bra / silver poms
• Wear to school netted warm ups / ONE love t-shirt / white tennis shoes
• You will be dismissed at 1:50 tomorrow.  We must be down to the band room at 2:15.  Get ready quickly.
• Lets have an amazing pep assembly.  There is a lot of hype and a lot to be excited about.  I am expecting you to be on your best behavior, be supportive of EVERY group that is recognized, and share your Olathe North pride with your peers!  I think this is a well needed performance!

For the football game:

• Report time is 5:00
• Bus leaves at 5:30
• You can wear layers underneath your warm ups.  Make sure you keep layers ON colors.
• Don’t forget your letter jacket and silver poms.
• Bring your black Eaglette backpack.
• Bring a little bit of money if you want snacks (if we have time to get them.)
• Get your spirit face on…it’s a BIG GAME!!  We need to show Olathe North Eaglette discipline, pride, and spirit and represent ourselves in a classy and fabulous manner!  I’m expecting lots of yelling!!

Get excited for a FABULOUS Friday!  It’s going to be a great day, I can feel it!  Love you!

Hey girls!  Hope you struck up a conversation with a stranger today! :)  Get excited to sleep in tomorrow morning.  We won’t get to draw for our team nice until after school, but don’t be afraid to spread team nice however you see fit!  Hooray for Team Nice and hooray for the Eaglettes!

The video is posted for today.  Please watch and review.  Tomorrow we will be finishing the missing 2 eight counts and fixing problem areas.  I need to be able to see the routine to know what we need to fix.  I appreciate the positive attitudes in the morning.  We did have a lot of excess talking today and lack of focus.  I know pom can take a while, but we cannot allow us to let us lose focus.  It makes it difficult for teaching and also we do not make progress that way.  So keep up the good attitudes and lets cut back on the excess talking and focus more on keeping the intensity.

Enjoy sleeping in.  Don’t forget to pack everything you need for after school practice and the chili supper.  Please check the announcements for what you need.  Get excited for the chili supper.  Please tell all of your friends and lets get a big turn out! :)  It will be fun!  Remember our job is to serve our customers!!  Lets have an awesome evening!  Be super thankful to all the parents that are helping!  Anyone who can go the musical, it is going to be fabulous!   Break a leg, Lauren and Shelby!

Also, I need your updated mid-term BEFORE Friday morning!  We will be re-spacing on Friday morning so please be ready.  PLEASE use ART time to get help.  We need to bring our grades up.  If you are not doing anything, I would GREATLY GREATLY appreciate help.  Text me or come see in Room 743 before school and I will sign your pass.  If anyone has a free hour (or time during ART) the administration has also requested signs for the football team.  Let me know if you are interested.  I’ll give you merits and the administration and school would appreciate it.

Have a wonderful evening!  Love you girls!

Hey girlies!  I hope you spread the high fives around Olathe North today and even took it home!  :)

I have updated the videos from today and yesterday.  Please watch and review.  If you were absent, please learn from the video.  Please review the cleaning and memory.  Please also critique to see what you and the team can do better! 

Keep up the positive energy!  Keep be thankful!  Life is good!

Watch this clip and tell me if you can feel the intensity level in their dancing?  I sure can!  This is a great example of intensity and dancing hard!

For Eaglettes:

Hey girls.  Hope you are enjoying your Sunday.  The announcements are posted.  Please read and print off / write out.  I have also uploaded videos.  I need you to view the 3 videos under competition prep.  Please watch and critique.  See what parts look good and what parts need improvement.  We have 36 practices left until competition and 5 team routines to prepare.  It may seem like January is far off, but these next few weeks are going to go by so quickly!  I greatly appreciate the positive attitudes we had this past week.  We also gave one of our best pre-game performances and a very good field show performance…especially for not working on.  As we come into this week, I ask that we continue that positive vibe, especially as we are going into our week of gratitude and team nice!  I would also ask that we step up our intensity level.  Each day we need to be focusing and caring about every detail.  Each day, we need to give 120% of ourselves.  We cannot wait until the week of competition.  We must do it now.  We have a big performance this week to debut our jazz routine!  Lets work to make sure we are ready to show our school what they can expect from us.  Lets build all of our team members up this week and have a fabulous week!  Just think, we have one more full week of school to be followed by a short week and Thanksgiving Break! :)
