Great job girls- keep up the good work!
 
Blue Cheer- If the boys win their playoff game this weekend, the girls will practice on the following Wed. 10/14.
If the boys lose their playoff game, please return your daughter's CLEAN shell top and skirt on Wed. 10/14 during regular practice time (5:30-6:45 pm).  Year end parties are being planned and the coaches will give you details as soon as they are available.  GOOD LUCK this weekend!!
Orange Cheer – If the boys win their play off games this weekend, SL, LW & JV will practice Tuesday 10/13 next week and Varsity will practice Wednesday 10/14. Details regarding uniform turn-in coming soon! Your daughter’s coach will have information regarding that this weekend. If you have any questions, please let your coach know. GOOD LUCK Panthers!!!
White CheerGOOD LUCK!
Practices:
As the weather continues to change, please make sure your daughter is dressed appropriately. Please, no jeans, as they restrict movement. Continue to send rain gear with your child as well. It may become necessary to change our ending time if we see that it is becoming dark sooner. Please ask your child if there were any announcements at practice. Children will not be allowed to walk alone to find a parent- this is a safety concern. Please respect each coach’s requests for pick up in the evenings- we are all truly concerned about their safety!
 
Uniforms:
The shell top and navy skirt will need to be washed, hung to dry and turned in to the commissioners at the conclusion of their cheer season. Please be looking for these details to come. A $150 fine will be charged to anyone not returning their uniform.
(The girls keep the warm up set, tilly and turtleneck)
 
Playoffs:
The times and locations for the playoff games are on the River Valley website. The girls continue to perform as long as the boys win. 
 
Good luck at the gamesthis weekend- GO PANTHERS!
