Hi Fellow Dance Team Fans!
I think the team did a great job at the game this past Friday night, and from what I have heard from other parents, that is the consensus of opinion.
This past Wednesday, the board met to review some of the past business and discussed some of the upcoming events. The next big deal is Homecoming and there is a lot to do for this activity. There are several different volunteer opportunities available and we encourage you to select one or two. Please email me with your choice(s) as soon as possible.
- Homecoming - both the parade and the game are on Friday, October 9th
- there are activities for the students the entire week leading up to Friday
- The dance team will be decorating mailboxes and lockers for 15 football players
- Like we did last year (and the football players decorate ours)
- Mrs. Brink will provide us a list give each dancer their assigned football player
- Mr. Brink is working on a work schedule for building the float
- we need a few good men (DADS) to help with the construction
- Dancers will be responsible for the decorating
